What Makes San Marcos and New Braunfels Different
San Marcos and New Braunfels sit where the Texas Hill Country meets the flatter land to the east, in a part of the state often called Flash Flood Alley. Thin soil over limestone sheds rain fast, and creeks and rivers can rise many feet in an hour. The Memorial Day flood of 2015 on the Blanco River destroyed homes in Wimberley and flooded neighborhoods in San Marcos.
The Comal, Guadalupe, San Marcos and Blanco rivers all run through the area, and many homes sit close to the water. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it. Never drive or walk through water over a road, because a few inches of moving water can sweep a car away.
Summers are hot and humid, and wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. The clay soil east of the interstate swells and shrinks, which can crack slabs and the pipes beneath them. Spring hail can damage a roof that then leaks for months before a stain appears. Many older homes near both downtowns were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in San Marcos and New Braunfels
Texas licenses mold work through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For mold jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more, ask for a state licensed mold assessor to write the plan and a separate state licensed mold remediation contractor to do the cleanup, because Texas does not let the same company do both on one project. Look up both license numbers on the department’s website before you sign.
Texas has no statewide license for general contractors, so for rebuild work ask for proof of liability insurance and check with your city about permits. Plumbers are licensed by the state, so a slab leak or burst pipe repair should be done by a licensed plumber. For the drying and cleanup itself, ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
