In Progreso, McAllen Water Damage Restoration connects you with a technician who can attend a single-storey slab home, a mobile home or a property along the farm roads after surface water, a roof leak or river flooding. Phones are answered 24/7 and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available.
Progreso sits at the southern tip of Hidalgo County, at the international bridge to Nuevo Progreso across the Rio Grande. It is a small town, and it is one of the lowest and closest-to-the-river points in our service area, alongside Hidalgo and Granjeno. That combination matters. When the river rises, the water here has few easy routes out, and it stays a while.
When a call comes in from Progreso, the first questions are where the water came from and what it reached. A roof leak that has soaked a plaster ceiling, a broken line under the slab and river water pushed up through irrigation canals all need different responses. The technician who attends will check the floor, the walls and the moisture level before anything is quoted, and the price is explained and approved before work begins.

The research behind this page describes a pattern that repeats across this part of the valley. When the Rio Grande rises after a cyclone, the water takes time to go down. The clearest example in the regional record is Hurricane Hanna in July 2020, when the irrigation canals overflowed and the river rose. Because the land is flat, water does not leave by gravity. It depends on ditches, canals and pumping, and those can be slow when the whole area is wet at once.
For a homeowner, that means water can sit for a while rather than clearing in a few hours. Ask the technician how long they expect the water to take to clear from your street or lot before you decide what to remove. Questions about a particular ditch or drainage problem are best directed to the Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1, which is a public body.
The typical work described for this town is surface water, drying and mould. Most homes here are single-storey and built on a concrete slab poured at ground level, which is what the research describes for a town of this kind. There is no basement, so water that gets in reaches the floor you live on, and the damage tends to concentrate in flooring, baseboards and the lower walls.
Mobile and manufactured homes are part of the picture too, and they raise their own questions about floors, the structure underneath and access for drying equipment. Mould follows materials that stay damp, and in a warm, humid climate it can take hold quickly. If a leak has been running under the slab, a common sign is a damp floor covering with no obvious source. That is worth raising at the first visit.
In Texas, mould work is licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Under the state rules, remediation of mould covering 25 contiguous square feet or more generally needs a licensed remediator. The rules also do not allow the same licensee to assess and remediate the same project. TDLR's 2025 consumer guidance says that visible mould areas under 25 contiguous square feet can sometimes be cleaned without a licence.
For a home in Progreso that has been wet and is showing mould, ask the company in writing whether the work falls under the 25-square-foot line, which licence applies, and whether the consumer Mold Information Sheet will be given before work starts. Any licence a company names can be checked in the TDLR licence search before you agree to anything.
The hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the regional guidance placing its peak in August and September. September is the wettest month in the valley and carries roughly a fifth of the year's rain. That is the period when roof leaks, flooding and sewage backups are most likely to arrive together, so it is worth having a plan before it does.
Outside the storm months the calls change. Winter in the valley is dry and mild, so the work is more often about slab leaks, water heaters and appliances than about flooding. Whatever the season, the first steps are the same: stop the water at its source if it is safe to do so, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
Standing water on slab floors and in mobile home floors is usually the first thing to remove, before drying starts.
When the canals overflow and the river rises, street water can reach the lot faster than the ditches can carry it away.
A leak under a slab in a single-storey home shows up as a damp floor, so it is often found late.
Mobile and manufactured homes in Progreso need their own approach to floors, underlying structure and drying access.
Mould that follows wet materials is common here in a warm, humid climate, and Texas licensing applies above a set area.
Hurricane season and the river's rise after a cyclone are the main reasons water sits in this town for a long time.

Yes. Phones are answered 24/7, including nights and weekends, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. A crew cannot be promised at a set time, because it depends on what is free when your call comes in. The person who answers will ask where the water came from, whether it is still coming in, and whether there is electricity near the wet area.
The technician will explain the price and get your approval before work starts. The figure depends on how much floor and wall area is wet, the category of the water (clean from a supply line, grey from a washer, or black from sewage or street flooding), the materials involved, how many drying days are needed and whether any mould is present. Ask for the scope in writing so you can compare it with another quote.
Generally, no. A standard homeowner's or renter's policy usually covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or a failed washer hose. It usually does not cover flood water, which normally needs a separate policy, often through the National Flood Insurance Program. Gradual leaks and mould are usually excluded as well. Your policy and your insurer decide what applies in your case, and insurers can deny a claim if the property was not protected from further damage. Complaints about an insurer can be taken to the Texas Department of Insurance.
Mould work in Texas is regulated by TDLR. Remediation of mould covering 25 contiguous square feet or more generally requires a licensed remediator, while smaller visible areas can sometimes be cleaned without one, according to TDLR's 2025 consumer guidance. Ask any company whether it holds a mould licence, check it in the TDLR licence search, and ask for the Mold Information Sheet for the consumer before any work begins.
There is no fixed figure to promise, because drying time depends on how much material is wet, how far the water has spread and the humidity during the job. Slab floors and walls can take days to dry in a warm, humid climate, and equipment may stay in place until readings show the building has dried. Ask the technician to explain the expected drying period and what will be checked each day.
