Water Heater Failure in Alamo Heights

BeforeAfter

The problem was a 40-gallon water heater that split at the seam around 3 a.m., sending water through a hallway, two bedrooms, and into the subfloor. We extracted standing water first, then cut the wet drywall at the flood line, pulled the saturated pad, and set commercial drying equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix on the affected rooms. After three days of psychrometric readings (measuring the heat and moisture in the air) confirmed the structure was genuinely dry, we rebuilt the drywall, textured, primed, and laid new pad and carpet. The result: the homeowner couldn’t tell where the damage ended and the original construction began.

Mold Remediation After a Slow Pipe Leak in Stone Oak

BeforeAfter

This one started as a faint musty smell in a guest bathroom. When we pulled the vanity, we found black mold colonizing the drywall and the stud cavity behind it, fed by a pinhole leak in a copper supply line that had been dripping for months. We set a containment area with negative air pressure, removed the affected drywall and insulation, and treated the framing with an antimicrobial. After the area passed clearance testing, we installed new drywall, a new vanity, and a shutoff valve the homeowner could actually reach. No more smell, no more hidden leak, and no more mold in that wall.

Storm Damage from a Wind-Driven Rain Event in Terrell Hills

BeforeAfter

A spring storm pushed rain horizontally through a roof valley, saturating the insulation and drywall ceiling in a living room. By the time we arrived, a section of the ceiling had dropped and the water was still coming in. We tarped the roof that night, extracted what had collected, removed the collapsed drywall and wet insulation, and dried the ceiling joists with Injectidry injection drying. Once the framing was verified dry, we replaced the insulation, hung new drywall, retextured, and painted. The ceiling above that couch looks like the storm never happened.

Dishwasher Discharge Failure in Boerne

The discharge hose on a dishwasher separated mid-cycle, pumping soapy water under the kitchen flooring and into the toe-kick cavities of the lower cabinets. We pulled the dishwasher, extracted the standing water, and opened the cabinet bases to get airflow where water had wicked upward. XPOWER air movers and a Phoenix desiccant ran for four days, and our daily psychrometric readings showed the wood cabinet boxes dried without warping. We reassembled, reinstalled, and the kitchen floor didn’t need to be torn out. That’s the outcome we aim for, because it costs the homeowner less and keeps the original finishes intact.

Air Conditioner Condensate Overflow in Cibolo

A clogged condensate line backed up the AC drain pan in an attic, spilling water onto the ceiling below and down a wall. The homeowner noticed a brown stain spreading on the bedroom ceiling and called us before the drywall gave way. We shut down the unit, cleared the line, extracted the pan, and set drying equipment on the affected ceiling and wall cavity. Because the drywall hadn’t collapsed, we were able to dry it in place, then stain-block, texture, and repaint. The ceiling paint matches, the AC drains properly now, and the fix cost far less than a full ceiling replacement would have.
