When water, fire, mold, or storm damage hits your San Antonio home, the first 48 hours decide how much you’ll rebuild and how much you’ll replace. Our Damage Restoration in San Antonio team responds fast, assesses the full scope of the loss, and puts the plan and the price in writing before any equipment gets unloaded. That’s how we work in San Antonio and everywhere else the Garrison family serves. If you’re standing in standing water right now, call (409) 215-3468 and a live person will answer, day or night. Preston Harley leads our restoration division, and he built it around one rule: show up inside the window, do the job by the book, and guarantee the work in writing for a full year.
We’re part of Garrison Partners, a family of twelve independent home-service companies founded in 2010 by owners with military and first-responder backgrounds. Every brand in the family operates under The Garrison Standard. That means the restoration crew in San Antonio works to the same written promise as every other trade in the family: upfront written pricing, on-time arrival windows, by-the-book workmanship, a clean site, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within that year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
What Our Damage Restoration Service Includes
Damage restoration covers the full recovery of your home after water, fire, smoke, mold, or storm damage. It starts with emergency response and ends with a home that’s dry, clean, structurally sound, and safe to live in. Here’s what our San Antonio restoration crews handle.
Water Damage Restoration
Burst pipes, roof leaks, appliance overflows, and San Antonio’s flash-flood seasons all push water where it doesn’t belong. We extract the standing water, set up commercial-grade drying and dehumidification equipment, monitor moisture levels daily, and restore the affected materials. The goal isn’t just a dry surface; it’s moisture readings that prove the wall cavities, subfloor, and framing are actually dry. That’s what prevents the mold that shows up weeks after a “dry” house gets cleared.
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
A structure fire leaves behind soot, char, and smoke odor that penetrate drywall, insulation, and soft surfaces. Our crews remove unsalvageable materials, clean what can be saved, and run professional air-scrubbing and thermal fogging equipment until the smoke smell is gone from the air and the structure. We also coordinate content cleaning and pack-out when your belongings need off-site treatment. San Antonio homeowners get a written scope and schedule before any demolition begins.
Mold Remediation
Mold grows fast in San Antonio’s heat and humidity once moisture is present, and it doesn’t wait for an insurance adjuster to show up. Our mold remediation teams contain the affected area with negative-air pressure, remove contaminated materials, treat framing and surfaces with antimicrobial agents, and verify clearance with post-remediation testing. We follow containment-first protocols because the last thing your home needs is mold spores spread through the HVAC system during cleanup.
Storm and Wind Damage Restoration
San Antonio gets hit hard by spring hailstorms, straight-line winds, and the occasional tropical system pushing north from the Gulf. Fallen trees, wind-torn roofing, broken windows, and water intrusion all need a coordinated response. Our restoration crews board up, tarp, extract, dry, and begin reconstruction with one point of contact throughout. The Garrison Standard applies to every step: written pricing before work starts, a scheduled arrival window, and a clean site at the end of every day.
Contents and Pack-Out Services
When a room or an entire home can’t stay furnished during restoration, we pack, inventory, and store your contents until the work is done. Every box is photographed and logged, so nothing disappears into a warehouse and you know exactly what left the house. Once restoration is complete, we deliver everything back, set furniture where it belongs, and walk the home with you to confirm the job is done right.

Brands We Service for Damage Restoration
Our San Antonio restoration crews work with every major appliance, building material, and home system brand you’re likely to have in your house. We’ve handled water extraction around Wayne Dalton garage doors after storms pushed water through the bottom seal, and we know how to open those doors manually for safe access without adding damage. We’ve also restored Craftsman tool collections and workshop equipment after garage floods, treating rust-prone surfaces and oil-sealed components with the care those machines deserve.
Roof damage that leads to interior restoration often involves Amarr and Raynor entry and garage doors that took hail or wind debris. We assess the damage, document it for your insurance, and coordinate the restoration work across the affected systems. Whether your home has these brands installed or any other make, our restoration team can work around and with what you have. The damage gets remediated, and we never insist you replace what can be saved.
Signs You Need Damage Restoration Right Now
- Visible standing water or active leaks. Water that’s visibly pooling on floors or running down walls is already saturating building materials. Every hour it sits, the water wicks further up drywall and deeper into subflooring, expanding the affected area and the restoration cost.
- The smell of smoke or a burnt odor that won’t clear. Smoke odor that survives airing out the house is embedded in porous surfaces, not floating in the air. Ozone and thermal fogging remove what you can’t scrub, but only if it’s done before the particles settle into paint and fabrics permanently.
- Discoloration or warping on walls, ceilings, or floors. Brown stains, peeling paint, bubbling drywall, and cupped hardwood all mean moisture is trapped underneath. What you see is only part of it; behind that drywall is framing that’s been wet long enough to grow mold.
- A persistent musty or earthy smell in one room. Mold doesn’t always show itself. When you catch the smell but can’t see the source, it’s typically growing in a wall cavity, under flooring, or inside ductwork. Containment and testing are needed before the problem spreads further.
- Ceiling sagging or drywall tape separating at the corners. A ceiling that’s bulging or tape that’s cracking away from wall joints indicates water-saturated drywall losing its structural integrity. It’s a sign that the material is beyond drying and needs to be removed and replaced before it fails.
Our Damage Restoration Process – Step by Step
- 1
Immediate Response and Damage Assessment. When you call (409) 215-3468, a live person answers. We schedule your on-site assessment inside a committed arrival window, not a vague “sometime this week.” Our lead restoration technician walks the property with you, identifies the full scope of damage, and documents everything with photos for your insurance claim.
- 2
Written Scope and Upfront Pricing. Before any work begins, you receive a written scope of work with a fixed price. That’s The Garrison Standard in action: the number you sign is the number you pay, not a starting point for change orders. We also give you a realistic schedule for each phase of restoration.
- 3
Containment, Extraction, and Mitigation. We start with stopping the source of the damage, then contain the affected areas so contamination doesn’t spread through the rest of your home. For water damage, that means extraction, placement of dehumidifiers and air movers, and removal of unsalvageable materials. For mold, it means negative-air containment and HEPA air scrubbing.
- 4
Restoration and Controlled Drying. Our crews reconstruct what was removed: drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinetry, paint, and trim. During this phase we run daily moisture readings to confirm materials are actually drying to target levels, not just looking dry on the surface. You’ll know what’s happening at every step from one restoration lead, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
- 5
Final Walk-Through and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We do a final walk-through with you, confirm the home is clean and complete, and hand you a written warranty. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every bit of our restoration work for a full year. If anything fails in that window, we come back and make it right at no charge.
How Much Does Damage Restoration Cost in San Antonio?
A typical water damage restoration in San Antonio runs $3,500 to $7,500 for a single-room loss with extraction, drying, and basic reconstruction. Larger floods affecting multiple rooms or requiring significant drywall and flooring replacement run $8,000 to $20,000. Fire damage restoration typically falls between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on square footage, smoke penetration, and content cleaning needs. Mold remediation in San Antonio ranges from $800 to $5,000 for localized issues and $6,000 to $15,000 for whole-home remediation with reconstruction.
What actually drives the number: the category of water involved (clean, gray, or black), how long the damage sat before response, how much drywall and insulation must be removed, and whether contents need pack-out and off-site cleaning. San Antonio homes with pier-and-beam foundations have different subfloor concerns than slab homes, and that affects the restoration approach and price. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, itemized quote that separates mitigation from reconstruction, and to ask what’s included in each line. Our free estimate does exactly that. No hidden line items, no numbers that move at the door.
