First steps for storm and flash flood cleanup in Trophy Club, TX
- 01Stay out of the water Floodwater can be contaminated and may be near live wiring, so stay out until power is off and the area is safe.
- 02Cut power safely Turn off power to flooded areas only from a dry spot, and call an electrician if the panel itself is wet.
- 03Photograph the water mark Photograph the water level on walls and furniture before cleanup, since the mark shows how high it went.
- 04Hold off on repairs Wait for the crew to pump, remove and dry before rebuilding anything.
Storm water that enters a building is classed as contaminated, because it has crossed yards, streets and drainage paths on the way. The Town's storm drains are separate from its sanitary sewer, do not treat stormwater and carry runoff straight to the nearest creek or lake, so heavy rain can move a lot of untreated water around. Flooding is not new here: settlers who came in 1847 moved to higher ground after flooding at Elizabethtown, and that higher ground is where the town stands today.

Run the water damage cost calculatorHow storm and flash flood cleanup is handled in Trophy Club
Make it safe
Power, gas and the structure are checked, and protective gear goes on before anyone enters contaminated water.
Pump and extract
Pumps and truck-mounted extractors remove standing water, then wands work through carpet, pad and low spots.
Remove and sanitize
Flood-soaked materials are cut out above the water mark, and surfaces that stay are cleaned and sanitized.
Dry and record
Containment, dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure, and readings and photos build the claim file.
What the Town's own studies say
The Town's Stormwater Master Plan, prepared by Freese and Nichols, has three phases, and Phase I studied five known drainage issues: Marshall Branch at Trophy Club Drive, Skyline (Indian) Creek, Overhill and Timber Ridge Drives, Fresh Meadows Drive and Cypress Creek.
Town staff told that study Marshall Branch has overtopped Trophy Club Drive on several occasions, with barricades needed in storms. The study used 2011 conditions, so it is a planning snapshot, not a promise about any street or home. In early May 2025 the National Weather Service also issued a flood watch for Denton County during repeated thunderstorms, a county-level alert.
Floodwater versus a plumbing leak
A burst pipe starts clean. Floodwater does not, so carpet, pad and insulation that soaked it up are usually removed rather than cleaned, and drywall is cut above the water mark.
Hard surfaces are scrubbed and sanitized, and contents are sorted into what can be cleaned and what cannot.
Drying after the cleanout
Once the wet materials are out, containment, air scrubbers where needed, dehumidifiers and air movers dry what remains.
- Moisture readings on framing and subfloor
- Sanitizer on the surfaces that stay
- A photo and reading log for the insurer or flood claim

Storm and Flash Flood Cleanup questions in Trophy Club, TX
Water still moving in Trophy Club?
Describe how the water got in and what it touched, and the crew can explain pumping, removal and drying.
(888) 527-9134 Trophy Club storm cleanup helpIs storm water the same as a pipe leak?
No. Storm water is treated as contaminated because it crosses yards, streets and drains, so porous materials that soaked are usually removed instead of dried.
Does homeowner insurance cover flood damage?
Standard homeowner policies often exclude flood from rising water, and flood coverage is usually separate. Rain that enters through a damaged roof can be treated differently, so ask the insurer which applies.
Where do the Town's storm drains go?
The Town says its storm drains are separate from the sanitary sewer, do not treat stormwater and carry runoff straight to the nearest creek or lake.
Has Marshall Branch flooded the road before?
Town staff told the Phase I study that Marshall Branch has overtopped the road on several occasions, requiring barricades during storms. That finding concerns the road, not individual homes.
What does a flood watch mean for homeowners?
In early May 2025 the National Weather Service issued a flood watch for Denton County amid repeated thunderstorms. A watch means conditions favor flooding, which is the time to move valuables and check drains.
Can wet drywall be saved after floodwater?
Rarely. Drywall that wicked floodwater is usually cut above the water mark, along with the insulation behind it, so the cavity can be cleaned and dried before rebuilding.
Water came in with the storm?
Tell the crew which rooms took on water, and the plan for pumping, cutting and sanitizing will follow.
