The housing stock in Highland Park — and why it matters

1920s–1950s bungalows and small masonry homes dominate, with pier-and-beam common in the older sections and slab construction appearing in the post-war blocks. Plumbing is frequently original or partially updated, and many roofs are on their second or third covering over original decking.

What causes water damage in 78210

Proximity to the San Antonio River and to Salado Creek's lower reaches drives flood exposure on the low-lying streets. Away from the water, the pattern is ageing sewer laterals, original supply lines, and roof leaks in older coverings that show up first as ceiling staining in the back rooms and additions.

The losses we attend most often in this ZIP:

  • River-adjacent lots with mapped flood exposure
  • Roof leaks surfacing in rear additions and enclosed porches
  • Ageing sewer laterals backing up into low-slab homes

Questions from Highland Park property owners

Water came up through the floor drain. What does that mean?

It usually means the sewer lateral or the city main is blocked or surcharged, and waste water is backing up into the lowest opening in the house. That is contaminated Category 3 water. Stop using every water fixture in the house immediately — each flush or drain adds to it — and call us and a plumber. The plumber clears the line, we handle the contamination and drying.

How long does drying usually take?

For a typical clean-water loss in a single-story home here, three to five days of equipment is common. Contaminated water, saturated hardwood or plaster, or water that sat for several days before discovery all extend it. We take daily moisture readings and show them to you, so the equipment comes out when the structure hits target — not on a fixed schedule.
