Water Damage in San Antonio: What You Need to Know
San Antonio sits in the heart of Texas Flash Flood Alley, where Hill Country runoff pours off the Balcones Escarpment and Olmos, Salado, and Leon creeks can rise in minutes — while under the surface, cast-iron plumbing in pre-1960 neighborhoods fails a little more each year. Doan Restoration's office is at 8418 Speedway Dr in northwest San Antonio, near I-10 and Wurzbach Rd by the Medical Center, so our IICRC-certified crews reach homes from King William to Stone Oak within 60 minutes with truck-mounted extraction.
In San Antonio's pre-1960 neighborhoods, corroded original cast-iron and galvanized lines cause more of the water losses we extract than storms do.

Common Causes of Water Damage in San Antonio
Slab Leaks
Most San Antonio-area homes are slab-on-grade. Water supply and drain lines run beneath the concrete, and a single under-slab leak can release water for weeks before it surfaces through your flooring.
Frozen & Burst Pipes
South Texas hard freezes — like the February 2021 storm — catch homes and pipes that weren't built for sustained cold. Pipes in attics, exterior walls, and unconditioned spaces burst when temperatures plunge.
Heavy Rain & Flash Flooding
San Antonio sits in the heart of Texas "Flash Flood Alley." Runoff races off the Balcones Escarpment, overwhelming storm drains and creeks and sending water through doors, windows, and foundation seams.
Appliance Malfunctions
Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators with ice makers are common sources of sudden indoor leaks.
Sewer & Drain Backups
Aging cast-iron sewer lines and live-oak root intrusion in older San Antonio neighborhoods crack and clog laterals, backing up wastewater through ground-floor drains.
Roof & Hail Damage
San Antonio is one of the most hail-prone metros in Texas — the April 2016 storm was the costliest hail event in state history. Cracked shingles and lifted flashing let rain into attics, ceilings, and walls.
