Water Damage Restoration in Martindale, TX

Martindale is a small town on the San Marcos River in Caldwell County, five miles downstream of San Marcos. It grew up around a gristmill and cotton gins in the 1850s, and the old gin and the brick buildings on Main Street still stand. The houses are a mix of frame homes from the early 1900s on piers, brick ranch houses from the 1960s and 1970s, and newer homes on acreage along the river and the farm roads toward Fentress.

The river is the town's reason for being and its biggest risk. The October 1998 flood and the two 2015 floods all put the San Marcos River over its banks here, and the low ground near the river takes water whenever the Blanco runs high upstream. The soil is Blackland clay, so the slab houses move with the seasons.

Martindale water damage, from river camps to brick ranches

River water in a house on the low ground near the old gin is flash flood cleanup, and the materials it soaked come out rather than drying. A slab leak under a 1970s ranch on the clay is a leak detection job before any drying starts. Once the source is stopped, structural drying runs on dehumidifiers because the river keeps the air damp.
