How we handle water damage restoration in San Marcos
1We find where the water went
Water in a San Marcos home can come from a washer hose, a water heater, a sprinkler head or a river out of its banks, and the City's flood plan places San Marcos in Flash Flood Alley. Inside, water runs under flooring and climbs into drywall, so we trace it to the dry edge.
2We remove the water and dry the structure
Water extraction comes first. Then the drying starts, and wet carpet pad or the lower part of a wall may come out so the framing behind it can dry. Moisture readings tell us when the structure is dry.
3We rebuild what came out
Once the readings show the structure is dry, we handle the rebuild. Almost a quarter of San Marcos homes were built before 1980, and original lines in a home that age may be near the end of their life, so we note what we find.

Your questions about water damage in San Marcos
Plain answers about the work, the estimate and your insurance.
Water from the apartment upstairs came through my San Marcos ceiling. Who covers it?
It can depend on where the water started and on each policy involved. We document what got wet on your side of the ceiling, and we can help with your insurance questions. Your insurance company decides what your policy covers.
Is river flooding in San Marcos handled another way than a burst pipe?
Often, yes. Water that rises from a river or a creek counts as a flood under many policies, and flood cleanup is part of our work. The National Weather Service recorded a crest of 43.08 feet at the San Marcos gauge in the Memorial Day flood of 2015.
How can I tell if water got into the walls?
Bubbling paint, a swollen baseboard and soft drywall near the floor are common signs. A wall can also hold water and look fine, so we check it with moisture readings before we call it dry.
How long does drying take after a leak in San Marcos?
That depends on the size of the wet area and the time the water sat before someone found it. We stop drying when the materials read dry, and one wet room can finish well ahead of a whole floor.
Do you work on apartments and rentals in San Marcos?
Yes, we work on homes and businesses. A rental can involve the tenant, the landlord and more than one insurance company. We document the loss and share the same record with each, so everyone works from one scope.
San Marcos water is hard. Can that wear out a water heater?
The City's 2024 water report put the average hardness at 269 ppm and calls it hard water. Mineral buildup from hard water may shorten the life of a water heater and the valves and lines around it. When a water heater lets go, we take out the water and dry the floors and walls it reached.
I rent in San Marcos and found water on the floor. What should I do first?
Tell your landlord or property manager, and stop the water at the fixture or the main valve if you can. Take photos of the water and of anything of yours that got wet, because a renters policy may cover your own belongings. We record the damage and can help with your insurance questions.
