Paso Robles is one of the newer subdivisions on the east side of San Marcos, off State Highway 123 near Rattler Road, built out through the 2010s and into the 2020s with one- and two-story slab homes from production builders. It sits near San Marcos High School and the new growth along 123 toward Trace, and it is a mix of first-time buyers, families, and investors renting to Texas State students.
The ground is Blackland clay east of the interstate, and new slabs on clay move through their first several wet-and-dry years as the soil settles. The houses are young, but the pattern is the same as everywhere in Hays County: water heater in the attic or garage, lines through unconditioned space, and a bath over the living room in the two-story plans. The February 2021 freeze did not spare new houses.
This site passes Paso Robles homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Every wall and floor gets a reading before the scope is set.
A cracked tile and a damp baseboard that appeared together in a 2017 house is a leak detection job before any drying starts. An attic line that split in Winter Storm Uri is burst pipe water damage, and every wall below it gets metered. A washer hose that let go in a rental over spring break is water extraction first and a long drying job second.
If you rent the house to students and a tenant texts a photo, call and tell us it is a rental. If you are the tenant, call and say so. Photograph the rooms with the time showing before anything is moved, and the provider will talk to whoever is paying for the work.
Call (737) 283-4979 and say what you found. We pass the call to a local water damage provider serving Paso Robles.
Standing water pulled off slab floors, tile, and rental carpet in a San Marcos house, then every room metered to see where it ran.
Dehumidifiers and air movers run against Hays County humidity until drywall, cabinets, and subfloor read dry on the meter.
A warm tile, a meter that will not stop, or a soft wall traced to a slab line or a wall pipe before anyone opens concrete.
Ceilings, walls, and floors soaked when an attic or exterior-wall line split in a freeze, extracted and dried after the valve closes.
Blanco River silt, Purgatory Creek runoff, and street water pulled out of a ground floor, ruined materials removed, and the house dried.
A failed tank in a garage, closet, or attic, with the ceiling, insulation, and walls below it metered and dried.
A sagging or stained ceiling under an upstairs bath, a roof leak, or an attic unit, opened only as far as the meter says.
Hail-cracked shingles and lifted flashing that let a storm into the attic, with the wet insulation and ceiling dried once the roof is covered.
