The housing stock in MLK District — and why it matters

Predominantly modest single-story homes from the 1930s through the 1960s, a mix of frame and masonry with both pier-and-beam and slab foundations, alongside significant public and affordable housing. Original plumbing is common and low floor heights mean any water intrusion reaches living space straight away.

What causes water damage in 78220

Ageing infrastructure is the dominant driver — original galvanized supply lines, cast-iron and clay sewer laterals, and roofs that have been patched rather than replaced. The relatively flat terrain across the East Side also means stormwater ponds rather than running off, so extended heavy rainfall pushes water toward low thresholds and slabs.

The losses we attend most often in this ZIP:

  • Original galvanized and cast-iron plumbing failures
  • Ponding stormwater entering low-threshold homes
  • Patched roofing leaking into ceilings and rear additions

Water running right now? Shut it off at the main if you can reach it safely, cut power to affected areas at the breaker if water is near outlets (never stand in water to do it), photograph everything before moving anything, then call (844) 476-1017. Our east side branch dispatches to 78220 around the clock.

Questions from MLK District property owners

How fast can you get here?

Faster than almost anywhere — our East Side branch is on Kraft Street in this ZIP. If water is actively running, shut it off at the main and call while it is stopping. The difference between calling immediately and waiting until morning is usually the difference between drying a room and rebuilding it.

I'm renting. Do I call my landlord or you?

Notify your landlord or property manager in writing immediately — that is their obligation to repair, and the written record protects you. You can call us at the same time; we frequently take the emergency call and then coordinate with the owner on scope. Do not let water sit for days waiting for someone else to make a decision.

What if I can't afford the repair right now?

Tell us that up front and we will scope it honestly. The urgent part — stopping the spread, extracting, removing contaminated material and drying — protects your health and stops the damage compounding, and it can be separated from reconstruction. We give a written price before starting so nothing is a surprise.

Ask to see credentials — from us or anyone else

Before any technician starts work on your property, you are entitled to ask them who they are and what qualifications they hold, and to ask to see documentation. That applies to us and to every other contractor who knocks on your door. Ask at your own discretion, take your time, and do not feel awkward about it — a crew that is happy to be asked is the kind you want in your house. If anyone refuses or rushes you past the question, treat that as your answer.
