North San Antonio · ZIP 78247
78247 covers Thousand Oaks, Wetmore and Fox Run in north San Antonio, between US-281 and the north-eastern suburbs. It is a settled, heavily-treed suburban ZIP built out largely through the 1980s and 1990s, with drainage channels running through several of the subdivisions.
Our north side branch at 18210 Sonterra Pl is the closest crew base to this ZIP, covering Stone Oak, Hollywood Park, Shavano Park and the US-281 North corridor. Within 78247 we serve Thousand Oaks, Wetmore, Steubing Ranch, Fox Run, Green Spring Valley and Valencia.
1980s–1990s single- and two-story slab homes in planned subdivisions, on wooded lots with mature canopy. This housing is now 30 to 45 years old — the point at which water heaters have been replaced once, original supply fittings are ageing, and roofs are on their second covering.
Two-story construction means upper-floor bathroom and laundry failures affecting multiple levels. Mature tree roots are beginning to reach sewer laterals in the older sections. Drainage easements and channels running through the subdivisions carry localized flood risk for the properties backing onto them.

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 north side branch dispatches to 78247 around the clock.
Water damage frequently leads to mold, and fire losses almost always involve water too. We handle all three from the same branches: mold remediation with containment and independent verification, and fire and smoke damage restoration including emergency board-up.
Usually one of three things: a failing shower pan or its surround seal, a toilet flange or supply line, or a tub waste connection. All three leak slowly and intermittently, which is why the stain appears gradually rather than suddenly. That slow pattern also means the cavity above the ceiling has probably been damp for a while, so mold is a real possibility. We open the minimum necessary to find it and assess what is behind.
Be aware rather than worried. Easements are designed to carry water, and in a significant rainfall event they carry a great deal of it. Keep the channel clear of debris and garden waste, make sure your fence line does not obstruct flow, and check your address on the public county flood maps. Where a property sits low relative to the easement, it is worth knowing that before a storm rather than during one.
As little as the readings justify. We map moisture before removing anything, so demolition follows the actual extent of the water rather than a precautionary guess. Sometimes that means small inspection openings and drying in place; sometimes the water has genuinely travelled further than anyone expected. Either way we show you the readings behind the decision before we cut.
