The city drains to Cibolo Creek, with Town Creek and its tributaries running north of FM 78 and Dietz Creek branching on both sides of it. In July 2026, heavy rain pushed the creek up, and neighboring Schertz issued a disaster declaration and a mandatory evacuation for some residents until the order was lifted on July 16. Storm water that enters a house is treated as contaminated from the start.
Why storm water is handled differently
- It carries soil, bacteria and runoff from streets and yards
- Porous materials such as carpet and pad cannot be cleaned
- Wet drywall near the floor often needs to be cut out
- Hard surfaces are washed and disinfected before drying
This keeps the house safe to rebuild after the water is gone.

(888) 926-4485Report storm waterHow the cleanup runs
The crew extracts the water and mud, bags soaked materials, cuts drywall to the height the water reached and cleans exposed surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry framing and subfloors, and structural drying covers larger losses.
Find the main shut-off now
Locate the main water valve before a leak and check that it turns freely. Closing it early is the cheapest way to limit water damage.
Garages and low rooms first
Garages and ground floor rooms take runoff first, so valuables should move early, but standing water near outlets is for the crew. Water extraction clears it safely.

(888) 926-4485 Report storm waterIs storm water safe for homeowners to clean?
It can carry bacteria and chemicals from streets and yards. Gloves and boots are the minimum, and soaked porous materials are best left to a crew.
What happened in July 2026?
Heavy rain pushed Cibolo Creek up, and neighboring Schertz issued a disaster declaration and an evacuation order for some residents. Damage inside the city itself is not confirmed.
What happens to the carpet?
Carpet and pad that sat in storm water are normally removed and discarded, since contaminated fibers cannot be cleaned reliably.
How high does drywall get cut?
Drywall is cut above the highest wet mark, with meters confirming the wall above is dry, so the repair does not leave moisture behind.
Does homeowners insurance cover floods?
Standard policies often exclude rising water, and a separate flood policy may apply. Ask the carrier early, and keep photos showing how high the water rose.
How soon should cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe to enter. Mud dries into floors and walls, and damp materials begin to grow mold within a day or two.
Muddy water needs removal before it dries into the floor
Call now, any hour. The extraction crew explains what to leave alone, then brings pumps, disinfectant and drying equipment sized to the flooding.
