How it works

Our restoration process

Four steps, starting the moment you call.

1

Call & Dispatch

Tell us what happened. A local crew is dispatched on the call, and how fast we reach you depends on traffic and where you are.

2

Extract & Stabilize

We stop the source, pump out standing water, and set drying equipment.

3

Dry & Monitor

Air movers and dehumidifiers run while we track moisture daily to dry standard.

4

Repair & Reinstall

Drywall, texture, trim, and paint go back so the room reads finished.

Insurance-savvy from the first call

Documented to claim standard from the first hour

We document the loss to claim standard from the moment we arrive — photos, moisture readings by room, and a scope that maps to your policy. Then we bill your insurer directly for the covered work.

Water removal in San Marcos is often a two-address problem on one property. A large share of the housing here is rented, and much of that is houses cut into units, duplexes, and fourplexes where the wall between two tenants is a partition sitting on the same slab or the same subfloor. Water does not stop at it. It runs under the bottom plate, under the flooring, and into a closet or a bedroom belonging to somebody who was asleep when it started.

So once the source is dead, the crew's first job is to establish where the wet area actually ends, which means metering past the wall the water appears to have stopped at. Extraction that ends at a doorway leaves a wet plate and a soaked pad on the other side, and that is the wall that smells in October. It also means we need access, which is why we ask on the phone who else is on the property, who holds keys, and whether the manager can be reached tonight. A wet unit nobody can open is a job that stalls at two in the morning.

Getting it out with the furniture still in the house

Rentals here are full and there is nowhere to stage a room's contents, so we block furniture up off wet flooring, move what has to move within the unit, and work around the rest instead of turning the night into a moving job. Extraction runs largest tool first: a truck mount for volume wherever hose can reach, portables for back rooms and upper floors, and weighted tools worked over carpet until the pad gives up its water, which mostly decides whether that carpet is salvage or trash. In the older houses that were cut into units the plumbing all stacks in one place, so the wet band tends to follow a single chase from the top floor down, and we extract on every level it touched rather than only the one that called.

One line worth drawing before you call: if water came into the house from outside, out of the San Marcos or the Blanco in a big rain, that is a flood loss. It is written on a separate policy and it goes to contractors who work that side of the business. What we take is plumbing water, supply lines, drains, appliances, and overflows, and with those the clock is everything. Extraction that starts at midnight and drying that starts at one costs a fraction of the same loss handled after an office opens Monday. Call (512) 271-5099.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to get into my neighbor's unit?

Often, yes. Water crosses under a partition wall without asking, and the pad and the bottom plate on their side get wet from your leak. We do not enter anything without permission, so we work through the owner or the manager. If that access is not available tonight, we extract and dry what we can reach and document exactly what is still wet on the other side.

Our landlord says to wait until the plumber comes Monday. Is that a problem?

It is. The plumber fixes the pipe, but the water already on the floor keeps moving all weekend, and by Monday the pad, the bottom plate, and the cabinet material have all taken it on. Extraction and repair are separate jobs and they do not have to happen in that order. Tell your landlord that, or give us their number and we will.

The carpet is old and the owner will replace it anyway. Is extraction still worth it?

Yes, because the carpet is not the point. Under it is a pad holding several times its weight in water, a bottom plate wicking upward, and either a slab or a wood subfloor that has to be dry before anything new goes down. We pull the water out first and let the decision about the carpet happen afterward, when it costs nothing to make.
