Water Damage Restoration in Blanco Gardens, TX

Blanco Gardens is the 296-acre neighborhood on the east bank of the Blanco River in southeast San Marcos, across I-35 from downtown. It was built out in the 1950s and 1960s as modest frame and brick homes on slabs and low piers, and today it holds about 4,500 people in a mix of long-time families, duplexes, and student rentals. Of the 1,558 San Marcos housing units damaged in the two 2015 floods, 1,246 were here.

That number is the neighborhood's story. On May 24, 2015, the Blanco crested at 43.08 feet and ran through the streets; on October 30, 2015, it came back. The city has since put more than $15 million into Blanco Gardens drainage work and adopted a neighborhood plan in March 2025. The houses are small, old, and close to the ground, and the clay under them holds water for weeks after a flood.

This site passes Blanco Gardens homeowners, landlords, and tenants to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Nothing gets written until the provider has metered the rooms.

Blanco Gardens water damage, in a neighborhood that has seen the worst of it

River water in a 1960 house on a low slab is flash flood cleanup, and the carpet, lower drywall, and cabinet bases it reached come out. A slab leak under a sixty-year-old house with its original copper is a leak detection job before anything is dried. A frozen line in a rental that sat empty over the February 2021 break is burst pipe water damage.
