Water Damage Restoration and Water Removal in Canyon Lake
Canyon Lake has no city hall: it's an unincorporated census-designated place covering about 143 square miles of land, more than three times the land area of New Braunfels. Wherever your home sits, we bring 24/7 water removal and drying.
Water removal comes first
Water damage restoration in Canyon Lake starts with getting the standing water out, then drying the structure until the moisture readings say it's done.
A lake region, not a city
The Handbook of Texas calls Canyon Lake "a dispersed unincorporated region" near Farm Road 2673 in northern Comal County. It grew after the lake's completion in 1964 and takes in the older communities of Startzville, Sattler, Hancock and Cranes Mill. With no city government, floodplain determinations here come from the Comal County Engineer's Office.
The Census Bureau's 2025 Gazetteer puts the area at 142.7 square miles of land and 13.4 of water, against 45.1 square miles of land for New Braunfels to the southeast. Our water damage restoration reaches every part of the Canyon Lake area, with the same emergency water removal wherever the house sits.
The summer the lake topped its spillway
In one week in summer 2002, more than 34 inches of rain fell in the upper Guadalupe watershed. It sent Canyon Lake over its spillway, a first since the reservoir's completion in 1964, and sliced open a 64-acre gorge below it, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority notes. Ordinary years are wet, too. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals give the Canyon Dam station 37.84 inches of precipitation a year. That's the most of the 13 nearby stations we checked; San Antonio's airport averages 32.38 inches.
For Canyon Lake homes, our full water damage restoration covers water that gets inside from a burst pipe, a failed water heater or a leaking appliance. The rest of the county is on the Comal County page.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Comal County Engineer's Office. Outside city limits, it makes floodplain determinations, and a project in the regulatory floodplain needs a Floodplain Development Permit and has to follow the Comal County Flood Damage Prevention Order. Drying out a wet house after a leak is a separate job, and that one's ours.
