7DAYS Water Damage Restoration San Marcos | Expert Damage Restoration in TX

In San Marcos, foundation seepage often shows as damp crawl spaces, musty odors, or efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on concrete walls near the base. You might also notice warping hardwood floors or peeling paint near the floor. Because our area has clay-rich soil that expands when wet, these signs are common after heavy rains. If you spot any, call 7DAYS for an inspection to prevent structural weakening.

First, we turn off the water supply and electricity to the affected area. Then we extract all standing water, remove wet insulation, and set up industrial air movers and dehumidifiers. For homes near the San Marcos River, we also check for contaminants, since floodwater may carry silt or bacteria. Finally, we sanitize and restore drywall or flooring as needed, ensuring no mold takes hold.

Wet insulation—whether fiberglass, cellulose, or spray foam—typically loses its thermal value and can trap moisture, leading to mold. In most San Marcos flood or leak situations, we recommend removing and replacing it. However, if it’s a minor leak caught quickly, we may dry it in place using specialized equipment. Our team evaluates each case to give you the safest, most cost-effective solution.
