Sattler sits on FM 2673 just below Canyon Dam, where the Guadalupe comes out of the lake cold and clear and the river road toward New Braunfels begins. It was a farming community named for the Sattler family in the 1850s, and the lake turned it into a tubing and river-house town. The housing is 1960s cabins, 1980s and 1990s homes on the hills south of the river, and the short-term rentals and outfitter cabins along the first miles of River Road.
The river below the dam is controlled, but the gauge at Sattler is what everyone downstream watches, because the Corps' releases set the river level for tubing season and for flooding. On July 6, 2002, water came over the emergency spillway here at 69,000 cubic feet per second and carved Canyon Lake Gorge out of the hillside next to town. Houses in Sattler get wet from pipes and tanks most years, and from the river in the rare one.
This site routes Sattler homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider inspects before writing a scope.
River water in a rental cabin is river flood cleanup, and the guests' schedule is part of the conversation. A tank that rusted through in the attic of a 1990s hillside home is water heater leak cleanup. After extraction, structural drying in a house beside a cold river runs on dehumidifiers, because the air outside is wetter than inside.
Canyon Lake Gorge is open for guided walks, and seeing the 2002 flood's cut through the limestone explains why floodplain permits here come from Comal County and why a lot's elevation matters. Say whether your house is on the river side or the hill side of FM 2673 when you call.
