Water Damage Restoration in Cottonwood Creek, TX

Cottonwood Creek is a subdivision on the east side of San Marcos, across I-35 from downtown along the creek it is named for, built out in the 2000s with one- and two-story slab homes from production builders. The streets are close to the schools and the highway, and the neighborhood is a mix of families, Texas State staff, and rentals. The two-story plans put a bath over the living room and the water heater in the attic.

The ground is Blackland clay, and the houses are now fifteen to twenty-five years old, which is the age when builder-grade tank heaters on hard water have failed once already and the slab lines have been through two decades of the clay swelling and shrinking under them. The creek rises fast in a heavy rain and the low lots know it.

This site passes Cottonwood Creek homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters first and writes second.

Cottonwood Creek water damage in twenty-year-old houses on clay

A warm tile and a bill that doubled is leak detection before any concrete is cut. An attic drain pan that overflowed above a bedroom is water heater leak cleanup, and the ceiling is metered first. Creek water across a garage floor after a night of hard rain is flash flood cleanup, and the carpet it touched comes out.

Two stories, one attic, and a decision about the ceiling

A ceiling stain in a two-story here almost always has one of two causes a few feet overhead, the bath or the tank, and the crew finds which before the drywall is touched. Photograph the stain and the room above it before you call.
