Our technicians document everything — photos, moisture readings, equipment logs — to support a complete and accurate insurance claim.
What Water Damage We Handle
Our team responds to every category and class of water damage as defined by the IICRC S500 standard — the industry guide for professional water damage restoration:
- Category 1 (Clean Water): Broken supply lines, overflowing sink or bathtub, appliance malfunctions. Fastest to remediate when caught early.
- Category 2 (Gray Water): Dishwasher overflow, washing machine discharge, toilet overflow without feces. Contains microorganisms and requires disinfection.
- Category 3 (Black Water): Sewage backups, flooding from rivers or streams, standing water that has sat long enough to grow bacteria. Requires full protective protocols and thorough sanitization.
Our Equipment and Technology
We invest in professional-grade restoration equipment that is simply not available at hardware stores or rental centers. Our fleet includes:
- Truck-mounted extractors capable of removing hundreds of gallons of water per hour from carpets, pads, and hard floors
- Industrial air movers (LGR) that produce a high-velocity air stream across wet surfaces to accelerate evaporation
- Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers that remove moisture down to very low grain levels, preventing secondary damage
- Thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture inside walls, ceilings, and subfloors without destructive testing
- Digital moisture meters and hygrometers to verify drying progress and document final clearance readings
Serving the Texas Hill Country Since Day One
Boerne and Kendall County experience some of the most dramatic flash flooding events in the state of Texas. The limestone karst terrain absorbs water slowly, concentrating runoff into creeks and drainage channels that can rise feet in minutes. Cibolo Creek, which runs through the heart of Kendall County, has flooded repeatedly in recent decades. We know these weather patterns, these drainage systems, and the unique construction methods common to Hill Country homes — and we use that local knowledge every day to serve our neighbors faster and more effectively.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Emergency Contact
Call us 24/7 at (830) 271-3338. We gather essential information about the type and extent of damage and dispatch a crew immediately. Our average response time in Boerne and Kendall County is 30–45 minutes.
Inspection & Moisture Mapping
Our technicians use thermal imaging and calibrated moisture meters to map the full extent of the damage — including water that has wicked behind walls or migrated under flooring that appears dry to the touch.
Water Extraction
We use powerful truck-mounted or portable extractors to rapidly remove standing water. For carpet and pad, we use weighted extraction tools that pull water from deep within the fiber structure.
Structural Drying
Industrial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are deployed in a calculated drying system. We monitor temperature, relative humidity, and specific humidity daily, adjusting equipment placement to maintain optimal drying conditions.
Antimicrobial Treatment
All affected surfaces are treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial agents to prevent bacterial growth and mold colonization. This is especially critical for Category 2 and 3 water damage events.
Complete Restoration
Once structural drying is verified with final moisture readings, we perform all necessary repairs: drywall replacement, flooring reinstallation, repainting, and trim work. One contractor, start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can water damage become permanent?
Water damage can become permanent within 24 to 48 hours. Within the first hour, drywall absorbs moisture and begins to swell. Within 24 hours, wood floors begin to warp, metal fixtures start to tarnish, and bacteria begin to multiply. After 48 hours, mold can start colonizing porous materials — and once mold is established, remediation becomes significantly more complex and expensive. This is why our team responds immediately, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Texas?
Most standard Texas homeowners insurance policies cover 'sudden and accidental' water damage — such as a burst pipe, an overflowing appliance, or an ice maker line failure. However, standard policies do NOT cover flooding from rivers or storm surge; that requires a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier. Our team works directly with all major Texas insurers — State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, and others — and will help document your claim to maximize your coverage.
Can I do my own water damage cleanup?
While minor surface spills can be handled with household fans and towels, professional restoration equipment is required for any significant water intrusion. Industrial air movers move 10 to 20 times more air than consumer box fans, and commercial dehumidifiers remove gallons of moisture per hour from walls and subfloors. Without professional equipment, water trapped inside walls and under flooring will cause mold growth within 48 hours — turning a manageable restoration into a major remediation project. Self-treatment also voids many insurance claims.
How long does water damage restoration take?
The structural drying phase typically takes 3 to 5 days for most water damage events, depending on the severity and the materials affected. Hardwood floors, thick concrete slabs, and dense insulation require longer drying times. Full restoration — including any necessary repairs such as drywall replacement, flooring reinstallation, or painting — can take 1 to 2 weeks. Our team monitors moisture levels daily with calibrated meters and never leaves until readings confirm the structure has returned to its pre-loss moisture content.
What is the difference between water mitigation and restoration?
Water mitigation refers to the emergency phase: stopping the source of water, extracting standing water, removing damaged materials, and beginning the structural drying process. Restoration refers to rebuilding — replacing drywall, re-installing flooring, repainting walls, and returning your property to its pre-loss condition. Our company handles both phases under one roof, so you deal with a single contractor from the first call through the final inspection.
