Introduction

Picture This: It’s Christmas morning. Snowflakes are gently falling outside while your family gathers around the fire, sipping hot cocoa and opening gifts. The warm glow of the tree lights fills the room when suddenly—you hear a loud crack followed by the sound of rushing water. A pipe has burst, and water starts pooling on the floor, threatening to ruin your perfect holiday.

Steps to take:

  1. Turn Off the Water Supply: Immediately shut off the water to stop further flooding. Locate your home’s main water valve and turn it off.
  2. Call Your Insurance Company: Report the damage and start the claims process.
  3. Contact a Restoration Vendor: Ask your insurance provider to recommend a trusted damage restoration vendor. They’ll help with water extraction, drying, and repairs.
  4. Find Temporary Housing: Ask your insurance company if they partner with a placement agent to find housing or visit Texas Corporate Homes directly. We specialize in providing ALE-compliant housing (Additional Living Expenses) for displaced homeowners, with fully furnished homes available for stays of 30+ days.
  5. Enjoy Stress-Free Holiday Housing: Our homes are professionally managed, conveniently located near major metro areas, and include all the comforts of home—perfect for keeping the holidays intact despite the disruption.
