Shavano Park: the tile is up.

We laid it out on the garage floor first to pick the pattern — stacked, or herringbone. Then the floor went in on a leveling system so every edge sits flat, then the accent wall.

In the shower the plank goes straight over the red waterproofing, stacked vertical, with the niche built into the wall. Tile’s done and the base is set.

Shavano Park: the garden tub came out and a walk-in shower is going in.

Before any tile: backer board with every seam taped, then the whole shower waterproofed, niche included. That red layer is what keeps water out of your walls. Then the tile.

How long does drying take? Honest answer: until the meters say dry - not a date on a calendar. We check moisture readings daily and only pull equipment when the numbers hit target. San Antonio, done right.

Ep. 2 — Schertz. In Episode 1 I said we were still opening rooms. Here is what that means.

The wall under these windows is open to the studs. So is the long run in the next space, and it carries on around the corner onto the adjoining wall. We opened all of it for one reason: so the framing can actually dry.

That is the part that surprises people, so it is worth saying plainly. A wall is not dry because the room is dry. Drywall holds water against the framing and paper-faced insulation keeps it there — you can walk into a space like this, put your hand flat on the wall, and feel nothing at all while the bottom of that wall is still wet behind your palm. The only way air gets to the framing is if the wall is open. So it gets opened, the insulation comes out of the way, and it stays open.

That is where this job is today: every wall in these photos is open because the house is drying. Yes, it looks worse than it did before we got there. That is what the honest version of this work looks like at this stage. Closing a wall early would look better today and cost the homeowner twice.

Look at the third photo. A wrought-iron shelf is still mounted on the wall, right above a run opened down to the slab. That is what a water loss looks like in a house somebody actually lives in — not a demolition site, just one line opened along the bottom of the room and the rest of their life still hanging on the wall.

Nothing goes back until the numbers say dry — not the insulation, not the rock, not one inch of the rebuild. That is the whole reason the walls are sitting open instead of already closed.

Which means the next stretch of this job is the quiet one. Equipment running, walls open, very little to photograph. We are going to post it anyway, because that unglamorous stretch is what decides whether everything built on top of it holds.

And then we put this house back together — that is the episode we actually want to show you.

This one has to be done right.

Ep. 1 — a water damage job in Schertz, and why we are still finding it in September.

The loss happened in July. We opened this wall in September. It was still wet.

We took this job over, and that is the part worth understanding: drying is not a formality you skip to get to the fun part. Until the structure is dry, anything built on top of it is a problem you are paying to hide. So equipment went in first.

The kitchen as it stands today: the countertop came out in one piece with the sink still mounted in it and the faucet hanging over the side. The range is pulled out on the bare floor, the fridge is standing open and emptied, cabinet boxes and drawer slides are stacked and sorted rather than dumped, and the floor is down to bare slab. The wall is open at the base, studs showing.

The upper cabinets are still hanging. Walk in cold and you would think we had barely started.

It did not stop at the kitchen either. We are still opening rooms and still finding damage — which is ordinary on a water loss, not a surprise. Water moves under flooring and inside wall cavities, and the only way to find the edge of it is to keep looking, room by room, instead of guessing from the doorway.

This one has to be done right. We are running it as a series so you can watch it come together — Episode 2 when the next rooms open up.

Same-day water mitigation in Cibolo — and the two numbers that explain why speed matters.

The lead came in this morning. We were out in Cibolo the same day, wall open and drying equipment running by the afternoon.

The meter read 999 on the laundry wall behind the washer. That is the top of the scale.

Then we checked the next room, at the floor: 212. A much lower number — and the meter still called it WET.

That is the whole lesson of a water loss. The wall you can see is not the edge of the problem. Water travels through framing and under flooring, and by the time a room looks dry it can still be wet enough to grow mold. Which is why we map it with a meter instead of guessing, and why we open the wall and set equipment the same day rather than booking you for next week.

Demo day on a whole-bathroom remodel in Shavano Park — and the part that never makes the highlight reel.

Before a single tile came up, we papered and taped the floor: the hallway and every stair tread between the front door and the bathroom. Then plastic sheeting over the doorway, sealed at the edges, so the dust from one room stays in one room.

That is not for the photos. A remodel means people are living around your crew for weeks. The house they walk through at night should look the way they left it that morning.

Then the demo itself: the mirror came off the wall in one piece, the vanity came out, the floor tile came up, and the wall came down to the studs. Somebody was bagging debris and sweeping the whole time, not just at the end of the day. A clean floor is how you spot what's behind the wall before it becomes a change order.
