Prosper's housing is some of the newest and largest in DFW — sprawling two-story estates in master-planned communities like Windsong Ranch and Star Trail, many of them built in the last decade on wide lots. It's easy to assume a newer home is immune to water damage. It isn't. The scale and the speed of construction here create their own set of water problems, and Flood Dry Elite handles them all over Prosper.
The fastest-growing parts of North Texas got built quickly, and plumbing is one of the first things that suffers when crews are rushed. A connection left slightly loose, a supply line nicked during framing, a fitting that wasn't fully seated — none of these announce themselves. They weep slowly inside a wall or above a ceiling, sometimes for months, and the first sign is often a soft spot, a stain, or a musty smell long after the water started. By then the cavity behind the finish is already saturated.
This is the trap with newer homes: the damage is hidden longer, so it's frequently worse than it looks by the time it surfaces. It's also why we don't trust the visible spot alone — we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find where the water actually went.
Prosper's estate homes work against you when a leak starts. Multiple bathrooms, second-floor laundry rooms, finished basements and media rooms, and long horizontal supply runs all mean water has more room to travel before it reaches a surface where you'd notice it. An upstairs supply break can follow framing across the house and drop into a first-floor ceiling rooms away from the source. Drying only what you can see leaves wet framing behind the walls — and that's where mold takes hold within 24 to 48 hours in Texas humidity.
We're a family-owned, IICRC-certified company, and we cover everything a Prosper home is likely to need:
Most Prosper homes come with a 1-2-10 warranty — one year on workmanship, two years on systems like plumbing, ten years on structure. The catch is that slow-developing leaks often surface near or after the two-year mark, and the builder may dispute whether it's a defect at all. Thorough documentation of the source is what protects you, which is one more reason not to rip out drywall or flooring before a professional has assessed it. We document as we work, for both your insurer and any warranty claim.
We're available around the clock and aim to reach Prosper in under an hour. In a large home, the difference between an hour and a morning of standing water is the difference between drying a wall and replacing it — across far more square footage than a smaller house. Fast extraction keeps the footprint small.
Bottom line: a newer, larger home doesn't get a pass on water damage — it just hides it longer and spreads it further. Find the water, document the source, and dry it to standard.

New doesn't mean leak-proof. When builders move fast, plumbing gets installed by rushed crews, and a loose fitting or nicked supply line behind a wall can drip for months before it shows. By the time you see a stain, the cavity behind it is often already wet. New homes leak — they just hide it longer.
Our job is the same: stop the damage and dry it properly. But we document the source carefully, which matters if you're pursuing a claim under your 1-2-10 builder warranty. Plumbing falls under the two-year systems coverage, but only if you can show the defect — so don't tear anything out before it's documented.
Yes. We're equipped for big footprints — multi-story homes with several bathrooms, finished basements and media rooms, and long supply runs. Larger homes mean water travels further before anyone notices, so we map the full affected area rather than drying only the visible spot.
Call our 24/7 line and a local crew is on the way — typically on-site in under an hour across Prosper and the surrounding area.
