Who writes the articles
Articles are published by the Dallas Flood Guard editorial team. No individual author, technician or credential is attributed to any article, because none has been verified for publication. Where an article describes how restoration work is done, it describes common industry practice and the process on this site’s service pages. It is not a report on a particular job.
How articles are researched
- Statements of fact come from named sources that were opened and read: government agencies (EPA, CDC, FEMA, the National Weather Service, the Texas Department of Insurance, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) and recognized industry bodies.
- Numbers are quoted as the source states them, with the source linked at the end of the article. Where two official pages disagree, the article says so.
- Practical statements that come from trade practice rather than a document are written as practice and flagged as such, not presented as a cited figure.
- Weather statistics use the National Weather Service’s DFW Airport station. Articles say when a figure describes that station and not a neighborhood.
What the articles are not
They are not medical advice, legal advice, engineering opinions or insurance advice, and they do not diagnose a specific property. They do not contain prices, because a reliable price depends on seeing the damage. Insurance coverage depends on your policy; the articles describe what Texas regulators and FEMA publish, not what your policy says.
Dates
Each article shows the date it was published and, when it differs, the date it was last updated. Updates are made when a source changes or an error is found, and the “updated” date moves when the substance changes, not for cosmetic edits.
Corrections
If something is wrong or out of date, email info@floodcleanupdallastx.com with the article address and the source that disagrees. Corrections are made in the article, and material corrections are noted on the page.
Commercial interest
Dallas Flood Guard sells water damage restoration. Articles link to related service pages and to the contact page. The advice in them, such as shutting off water, documenting damage and checking licenses, is meant to be useful whether or not you ever call.
