Water Damage Restoration in McQueeney, TX

McQueeney is an unincorporated lake community of about 2,500 people in Guadalupe County, east of New Braunfels along FM 78, on the shores of Lake McQueeney. The lake is one of the hydroelectric lakes the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority runs on the river, and the houses around it are lake houses first: 1950s and 1960s weekend cabins with boathouses, 1980s brick homes on the bluff, and newer builds that replaced cabins after the owners retired here full time.

The ground is Blackland clay running down to the river terraces. Lake houses have their own failures: hose bibs and dock lines that freeze, water heaters in boathouses, and septic systems that back up when the water table is high. When the lake drops for dam work, the shore dries and the clay cracks, and when it comes back the ground moves again.

This site routes McQueeney homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider sees the lake house before any scope is written.

McQueeney water damage in lake houses old and new

A weekend place that froze while empty is burst pipe water damage, and the water may have run until the neighbor called. Water across the lower floor of a two-level lake house is water extraction off tile and concrete, then structural drying in a house whose air is always humid.

Who to tell when the lake is involved

If the water came from the lake rather than a pipe, say so, because lake water is treated as contaminated. The GBRA posts lake levels and dam notices for McQueeney, and permits come from Guadalupe County rather than a city. Tell the crew whether the house is on a septic system and whether it is a rental.

Call (830) 356-7502 and tell us whether it was the lake or a pipe. We route the call to a local water damage provider serving McQueeney.
