Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels brought the first German families to the Comal Springs on Good Friday in 1845, and the town they built on the limestone above the river kept to itself for a century. Then I-35 arrived, and New Braunfels grew from about 36,000 people in 2000 to more than 100,000 by the mid 2020s, among the quickest-growing cities of its size in the country. The housing shows every layer: pier-and-beam cottages on the German street grid, 1970s and 1980s slab ranches in Oak Run and Hidden Valley, and two-story subdivisions from the 1990s on with the water heater and the air handler in the attic.
The Comal and the Guadalupe meet in the middle of town, and both have come into houses: in 1972 from Blieders Creek, in 1998 from the Guadalupe, and most years a little from Dry Comal Creek. The ground west of I-35 is limestone; east of it the Blackland clay begins.
This site routes New Braunfels homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider takes readings in every wet room before the scope exists.
An attic tank that let go over a landing in a 2005 two-story is water heater leak cleanup first and a ceiling job second. A warm stripe of tile in a 1985 ranch on the east side is slab leak water damage, and it means a meter test before any concrete is opened. River water in a house off River Road or Common Street is river flood cleanup, a contaminated-water job from the start.
Water and sewer inside the city come from New Braunfels Utilities, which also handles the meter at the curb and the shutoff at the street when a line cannot be closed inside. The Sophienburg Museum and Archives downtown holds the photographs from the 1972 and 1998 floods, which is worth a look if you are deciding whether a river lot is for you.
Call (830) 356-7502 and describe the wet spot. We hand the call to a local water damage provider serving New Braunfels.
