Redwood is an unincorporated community in Guadalupe County just south of the San Marcos city limits, along State Highway 123 and Old Bastrop Highway toward the San Marcos River. It grew informally over the twentieth century, and the housing shows it: frame houses from the 1940s and 1950s, manufactured homes on individual lots, and a few newer builds, on a mix of rural water and private wells, with septic systems throughout. Many residents work in San Marcos and shop at the outlets a few minutes up the road.
The land is Blackland clay sloping toward the river, and the low streets near the San Marcos River took water in 1998 and in both 2015 floods. Older frame houses on piers have crawl spaces where a leak can run for weeks before anyone notices.
This site passes Redwood homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider reads the rooms with a meter and then sets the scope.
River water across the floor of a house near the San Marcos River is flash flood cleanup, and the carpet and lower walls it touched come out. A pipe under a manufactured home that froze in February 2021 is burst pipe water damage, and the belly board and insulation get checked. A slow leak under a 1950s frame house is a leak detection call once the crawl space smell gives it away.
Redwood is outside any city, so floodplain and permit questions go to Guadalupe County in Seguin even though the mail says San Marcos. Tell the crew the house is in Redwood so they know which rules apply.
