Water Mitigation in Medical Center, San Antonio

Many homes in Braun Station and Vance Jackson were built in the 1970s and 1980s, with pipes that are prone to leaks and bursts. These failures often cause hidden water damage behind walls. We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden leaks without tearing out walls. Once located, we repair the pipe, extract water, and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers.

Apartments and condos near UT Health San Antonio often share walls and ceilings, so a leak in one unit can affect several others. Finding the source quickly is critical to prevent widespread damage. We coordinate with property managers to access multiple units and use moisture meters to trace water migration. We set up containment to protect unaffected areas and dry all affected units simultaneously.

Medical Center's drainage systems can be overwhelmed during intense thunderstorms, leading to flash flooding in parking lots and ground-floor units. This water often carries contaminants. We treat stormwater as contaminated, using PPE and antimicrobial products. We extract water with truck-mounted units, remove damaged materials, and disinfect the area before drying.

This standard guides our drying protocols, ensuring we use the right equipment and monitoring to dry your property correctly. It is the industry benchmark for water mitigation.

If mold is present, we follow TMARR guidelines for containment, removal, and disposal. This ensures safe and legal remediation, protecting both occupants and workers.
