Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Schertz

Water damage restoration in Schertz reaches every part of the city, and our local pros handle all of it. A Guadalupe County city on the edge of the escarpment, where seven in ten homes have gone up since 1990 on thin soil above rock.

Housing stock

The median home in Schertz dates to 2002, and 28.4 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Newer slab construction spread across ground with very little depth above the stone. What lands has almost nothing to soak into before it meets something solid.

Climate and water risk

May is the wettest month here at 4.35 inches, part of an annual 34.4 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from SCHERTZ 2.2 N, 1.6 miles off. May leads at over four inches within thirty-four for the year, which understates the risk badly. Rainfall rates near the escarpment are among the highest anywhere in the country.

Common water damage problems in Schertz

  • Rainfall rates near the escarpment that exceed almost anywhere else in the country
  • Thin soil above rock, with virtually no capacity to absorb what falls
  • Creeks that go from dry to their peak inside an hour
  • Crossings that are passable for years and impassable for twenty minutes

    Groundwater & Basement Intrusion

    Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage

Frequently asked questions

How quickly does a creek here actually change?

Inside an hour, and frequently inside twenty minutes. Air lifted abruptly by the escarpment produces rainfall rates among the highest recorded anywhere, and it lands on ground with almost nothing to absorb it. A dry channel becomes a torrent and is a dry channel again the same afternoon. No plan made during that window is going to be a good one.

The annual figure does not look alarming.

It is not, and it is the wrong number to work from. Thirty-four inches spread across a year says nothing about a storm putting ten of them onto one catchment in an afternoon, which is the event that causes the damage here. Rate rather than total is what matters, and in this part of the country the two are almost unrelated.

That crossing has been fine every time we have used it.

Which is precisely why they catch people. Low crossings are passable nearly all of the time, the water moves faster and runs deeper than it looks from a vehicle, and the surface underneath may have gone entirely. There is no version of this in which the assessment from the driver's seat is reliable. Turning round is the only approach that works consistently.
