We serve rural residential lots off Old Martindale Road and Sunset Acres North, pulling water from slab-on-grade homes with galvanized plumbing and wells.

Why we serve here
Sunset Acres has a specific set of water problems you don't see in newer subdivisions. The neighborhood's rural lots mean private wells and septic systems, and when those fail, water enters homes in ways city utilities never do. Older home stock with galvanized plumbing adds another layer: pinhole leaks behind walls, slow drips under sinks, and supply lines that let go without warning. Add the San Marcos River flood risk during heavy rain, and you get a community that needs a restoration team familiar with both rural water systems and urban-style water damage. We keep our schedule open for Sunset Acres because we know how quickly a small leak becomes a mold problem in this climate.

The San Marcos River can push floodwater into low-lying parts of Sunset Acres during heavy rain. We handle flood cleanup from start to finish: extracting water, removing contaminated materials, sanitizing with antimicrobial sprayers, and drying the structure. We know which streets flood first and how to protect your home from further damage.
When a well line fails or a septic system backs up, water enters the home differently than a city utility failure. We can't just shut off a main; we have to work with the homeowner to isolate the source. This adds time to the initial assessment and requires portable equipment.
Galvanized pipes corrode from the inside out, leading to pinhole leaks and sudden bursts. These pipes are often hidden behind walls, so we use thermal cameras and borescope inspections to find the source before we start extraction. We also avoid aggressive extraction methods that could damage fragile pipes further.
A burst supply line in a 1970s home off Old Martindale Road flooded the kitchen and living room with two inches of water.
We shut off the water, extracted the standing water with a truck-mount extractor, and removed wet baseboards and drywall. We set up LGR dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure. We also repaired the pipe and replaced the damaged drywall.
The home was dry in four days. The homeowner's insurance covered the full cost, and we saved the original hardwood floors.
Spring storms pushed the San Marcos River over its banks, flooding a crawl space and ground floor of a home near Sunset Acres Park.

The home was back to normal in five days. We prevented mold growth and saved the homeowner thousands in potential repairs.

Water damage isn't always obvious. Sometimes it's a stain on the ceiling, sometimes it's a musty smell you can't place. In Sunset Acres, older plumbing and flood risk mean you should pay attention to these warning signs. If you notice any of them, call us for an inspection. We can find hidden moisture before it becomes a mold problem.
A musty smell usually means mold or mildew is growing. In Sunset Acres homes with crawl spaces, moisture can linger for weeks. We use thermal cameras and moisture meters to find the source and dry it out.
Brown stains or sagging drywall mean water is coming from above, often a roof leak or plumbing failure. The longer you wait, the more damage spreads. We find the source, fix it, and repair the ceiling.
Hardwood floors cup or buckle when moisture gets underneath. This is common in Sunset Acres homes after a leak. We can dry the floors in place with floor drying mats or replace damaged boards.
A sudden spike in your water bill often means a hidden leak. In older Sunset Acres homes with galvanized pipes, pinhole leaks are common. We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal cameras to locate the leak.
Warm spots can indicate a slab leak, where a hot water line under the foundation is leaking. This is a serious problem that can undermine your foundation. We locate the leak and coordinate repairs.
Sunset Acres has a unique set of water damage risks. The combination of older homes, rural water systems, and river flood risk means homeowners here face problems you won't see in newer subdivisions. We've handled them all and know how to fix them fast.
Why it happens here
Many Sunset Acres homes were built before copper and PEX became standard. Galvanized pipes corrode over time and can burst without warning, especially in winter when water freezes.
Our approach
We locate the burst pipe, shut off the water, and extract the flooding. We repair the pipe or connect you with a licensed plumber, then dry the structure to prevent mold.
Why it happens here
The San Marcos River and local creeks can rise quickly during storms. Homes with crawl spaces are vulnerable to groundwater intrusion, which can lead to mold and structural rot.
Our approach
We pump out the crawl space, remove wet insulation, and dry the area with desiccant dehumidifiers. We also install vapor barriers and recommend drainage improvements.
Why it happens here
Rural lots in Sunset Acres rely on private wells and septic systems. When these fail, water can enter the home in unexpected ways, from well line breaks to septic backups.
Our approach
We work with your well and septic systems to isolate the problem. We extract contaminated water, sanitize the area, and dry the structure. We also coordinate with septic professionals if needed.
Why it happens here
Spring storms and high winds can damage roofs, flashing, and shingles. Water then enters the attic and ceilings, often going unnoticed until stains appear.
Our approach
We tarp the roof to stop further intrusion, extract water from insulation and drywall, and dry the attic. We also document the damage for your insurance claim.
Sunset Acres weather drives water damage in predictable cycles. Spring brings storms and river flooding, summer brings humidity and AC condensate issues, fall brings leaf-clogged drains, and winter brings frozen pipes. Knowing what to expect each season helps you prepare.
Spring is storm season in Sunset Acres. Heavy rain can push the San Marcos River over its banks, flooding low-lying areas. We see a spike in flood cleanup calls and roof leak repairs.
Tip
Clear gutters and check your roof before the rains start. If you live near the river, have a flood plan and know how to shut off your utilities.
Summer heat and humidity can cause AC condensate lines to overflow, leading to water damage in attics and ceilings. We also see mold growth from undetected leaks.
Tip
Check your AC condensate pan and drain line monthly. Keep indoor humidity below 60% with a dehumidifier or AC.
Falling leaves can clog gutters and downspouts, causing water to back up into your roof or foundation. We handle water damage from roof leaks and foundation seepage.
Tip
Clean your gutters after the leaves fall. Make sure downspouts direct water away from your foundation.
Freezing temperatures can burst pipes, especially in older homes with galvanized plumbing. We see a spike in burst pipe calls during hard freezes.
Tip
Insulate exposed pipes in your attic and crawl space. If you're away, leave a faucet dripping and keep your heat on.
Not all water damage restoration companies are the same. Some cut corners, some don't carry proper insurance, and some disappear after the job. Before you hire anyone in Sunset Acres, ask these questions. The answers will tell you whether you're dealing with a professional or a problem.
"Are you licensed and insured in Texas?"
Why it matters
A legitimate company carries liability insurance and workers' comp. If they're not insured, you could be liable for injuries on your property. Ask for proof before you hire.
"How do you document the damage for my insurance claim?"
Why it matters
Good documentation means a smoother claim. Ask if they use Xactimate, take photos, and communicate with your adjuster. A company that doesn't document properly can cost you money.
"What equipment will you use to dry my home?"
Why it matters
Professional drying requires more than fans. Ask about LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters. If they can't explain their equipment, they may not know how to dry your home properly.
"How long will the drying process take?"
Why it matters
Most homes take three to five days to dry, but it depends on the materials and extent of damage. A company that promises one day is cutting corners. Ask for a realistic timeline.
"Do you offer a warranty on your work?"
Why it matters
A warranty shows confidence in their work. Ask what's covered and for how long. If they hesitate, that's a red flag. We stand behind our drying and repairs.
