About the area
The Briscoe-Garner Museum at 333 North Park Street is the former home of Vice President John Nance Garner, who lived in Uvalde. It sits in the older residential blocks near the Original Town Site, among historic houses and churches.
Protecting Older Homes Near the Garner House
The Briscoe-Garner Museum, the former home of Vice President John Nance Garner, sits among historic houses and churches near the Original Town Site. Many homes in blocks like these are raised on piers with crawl spaces underneath, and that changes how water damage behaves. A failed supply line or a leaking tub drain can soak the subfloor from below, where nobody sees it for weeks. Hardwood planks swell and cup, old plaster lets go of its lath, and original trim is hard to replace. So we look underneath as well as above, checking the crawl space for standing water, wet insulation and damp joists before deciding how much needs to come out.

Water damage in older masonry and downtown buildings
Leaks travel down and sideways A failed supply line upstairs soaks the ceiling below, and shared walls pass water into the next unit.
Old masonry holds moisture Brick, mortar and plaster dry slowly and need monitoring, not just a fan.
Flat and low-slope roofs hold water Failed flashing or clogged drains let it into the top floor during a heavy spring storm.
Older plumbing has been patched many times Mixed pipe materials and old valves fail at the joints.
Crawl Spaces, Plaster and Old Plumbing
Older neighborhoods bring older plumbing as well: galvanized lines that pinhole, cast-iron drains that crack, and roofs that have been patched several times. When a call comes from near the museum, we pull standing water, protect furniture and framed pictures, and set drying equipment so air moves through the crawl space as well as the rooms. Following IICRC S500, we measure moisture in the floor system and walls each day and adjust the equipment as readings fall. If a church hall or rental house nearby needs the same care, the method holds. You get dated photos and readings that an insurer can follow line by line.
Local conditions around the Briscoe-Garner Museum
In July 2026, roughly 15 to 25 inches of rain over several days flooded parts of Uvalde, and the Leona River and Taylor Slough overflowed into homes and streets. For a business, that is a reminder that rising water from outside is normally excluded from a standard commercial property policy, and that a separate flood policy is what covers it.
Uvalde’s housing is older than it looks from the street. Census estimates put the median year built at 1978, with more than half of the city’s homes built before 1980. That means original supply lines, cast-iron drains and old water heater connections in many houses, which is where slow leaks and sudden failures start.
How we respond
We extract first, then place drying equipment so the building stays as usable as it safely can. Wet plaster, trim and masonry are read daily and dried in place where they allow it, and nothing historic is removed that the readings do not require. When water crosses into a neighboring unit, each space is documented separately.

FAQ
Water damage restoration near the Briscoe-Garner Museum: FAQs
Question not covered here? Call and ask. The phone is answered live day and night.
Can wood floors in an older home be saved?
Frequently, when they are dried quickly and from both sides. We extract surface water, then dry the planks and the crawl space beneath them with measured airflow. Floors that have already buckled or sat wet for days may need partial replacement, and daily readings tell us which.
Do you check the crawl space?
Yes. On raised homes the worst moisture is often underneath, where wet insulation and damp joists keep releasing humidity into the house. We look for standing water, measure the framing, and dry or remove only what the readings show cannot be saved.
Can old plaster and brick be dried instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Plaster that stays firm and masonry that is dried slowly can usually be saved. Material that softens, bulges or crumbles is cut out.
