Water Damage Restoration in Comal Town, TX
Comal Town is one of the oldest parts of New Braunfels, the neighborhood the German settlers laid out east of the Comal River in the late 1840s, across the water from the Main Plaza and up against what is now Landa Park. Its streets hold the city's largest concentration of pre-1900 houses: fachwerk and cut-limestone cottages, Victorian frame houses on cedar piers, and 1920s bungalows, with a few 1950s ranches filling the gaps. Many are on the local historic register, and the lots back up to the river or the old mill race.
These houses are pier-and-beam with crawl spaces, pine floors, shiplap under the plaster, and plumbing that has been replaced piece by piece over a century. The Comal and Blieders Creek have flooded the low streets here, worst of all on the night of May 11, 1972. Water in a Comal Town house goes through the floor and into the crawl space, not across a slab.
This site routes Comal Town homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks under the house as well as inside it before writing a scope.
Comal Town water damage in houses older than the state
A toilet supply that failed over a pine floor is water extraction upstairs and a crawl space to dry underneath. A damp wall with no clear source in a house with three generations of plumbing is leak detection. Creek water in a low lot is river flood cleanup, and the historic trim is photographed before anything comes off.
The springs at the top of the neighborhood, and the society that saved the houses
Headwaters at the Comal is restoring the sixteen acres where the springs rise at the top of the neighborhood, and the New Braunfels Conservation Society moved and preserved a dozen of the oldest German buildings at its Historic Old Town site. Exterior work on a registered house goes through the city's historic review before a permit; interior drying does not.
