Alamo Heights homes sit on older lots with mature trees and vintage plumbing that often leaks behind walls after heavy rains. Crews from 226 College St respond quickly to Broadway addresses and side streets off Austin Highway, where narrow driveways and sloped yards make extraction equipment placement tricky. Hot summer storms followed by mild winters keep humidity high inside brick and stucco houses built before 1960.
Water from Olmos Creek overflows during spring downpours and seeps into crawl spaces along the western edge of the neighborhood. Technicians use moisture meters on original hardwood floors in Cambridge Elementary school zone homes and pull carpet in split-levels near the high school. Same-day drying prevents mold in these tightly built blocks where airflow is limited.
Service runs Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, covering every street from the Alamo Heights city limits east to Terrell Hills.

Water Damage Restoration in Alamo Heights — Local Notes
- •Pre-1960 brick homes along Broadway and in the historic core have cast-iron drains that crack with age and tree roots common in Alamo Heights yards.
- •Hilly lots near Olmos Basin drain poorly, sending runoff into lower-level garages and finished basements after heavy Bexar County storms.
- •Narrow alleys behind Austin Highway properties limit large dehumidifier placement, requiring smaller portable units on many jobs.
- •Mild winters keep soil saturated longer, increasing slab-edge leaks in ranch homes south of Alamo Heights High School.
