Beitel Creek, Salado Creek and the June 2025 flood
On June 12, 2025, more than 7 inches of rain fell in about three hours over the Beitel Creek watershed. The flash flood near Loop 410 and Perrin Beitel took lives and became the deadliest single flood day in San Antonio's history. Labor Day weekend brought more flooding on Salado Creek. Our thoughts are with the families and neighbors who lived through it.
What it showed is how quickly these creeks rise: Beitel Creek came up as much as a foot every 10 minutes that night. The region's high-water detection systems at low-water crossings are monitored around the clock, and alerts are posted on BexarFlood.org. Check them before you drive in a storm.
What happens to a house after creek flooding?
Water that comes in from a creek or a street is treated as contaminated from the start. Carpet, pad, the bottom of the drywall and the insulation behind it usually have to come out. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and the structure is dried with the house closed up, because outside air is muggy for much of the year.
We photograph every room before anything is removed and explain each decision as we go. Every flood job starts with a free inspection and an itemized estimate. See flood and storm cleanup for how the work goes.
Homes, apartments and businesses
The Northeast Side has houses, apartment communities and a lot of businesses along Loop 410. We work in all of them. For apartment buildings, one unit's water often reaches the units beside and below it, so we check the walls and ceilings around the source, not just the room that flooded.
Carpet, upholstery, rug and drapery cleaning in Northeast Side
We also clean carpet, upholstery, area rugs, drapes and tile in Northeast Side, with truck-mounted hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning picked for what we're cleaning. Carpet is about $55 to $65 for a bedroom, or $0.55 per square foot, plus Texas sales tax.
