Water Damage Restoration in Hills of Hays, TX
Hills of Hays is a 1970s and 1980s subdivision on the west side of San Marcos, off Wonder World Drive near Hunter Road, on the first rise of the Hill Country above the interstate. The houses are one-story brick and stone ranch homes on slabs, with two-car garages, mature live oaks, and the original water heater location in the garage or a hall closet. Many owners have been here for decades; others are Texas State faculty and families drawn to the quiet streets near the hospital and the schools.
The ground is Edwards limestone, so the slabs have stayed put, but the houses are forty to fifty years old and their original copper lines, cast-iron drains, and tank heaters have mostly reached the end of their lives on hard aquifer water. The February 2021 freeze found the lines in the uninsulated garage walls.
This site passes Hills of Hays homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Readings from every wet room come before any scope is set.
Hills of Hays water damage in forty-year-old ranch houses
A garage tank heater that rusted through is water heater leak cleanup, and the slab under the laundry room and the hall gets metered. A copper line in the garage wall that split in Winter Storm Uri is burst pipe water damage. A warm spot on a tile floor with a rising bill is leak detection before anyone opens the slab.
The hospital around the corner
CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - San Marcos sits on Wonder World Drive a few minutes from the neighborhood, which is one reason retirees stay here. If someone in the house has health needs that make dust or loud equipment a problem, tell the crew so they can plan which rooms to seal off.
