Downtown Historic District Water Damage Response
The First National Bank building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, and it stands in the downtown historic district close to the courthouse and the hotel and opera house blocks. Commercial buildings in a district like this share some habits: thick masonry walls, tall ceilings, old roof drains and walls that touch the neighbor's. When water gets in, tall rooms trap humid air, and heavy brick and stone dry slowly. A single roof drain backup can saturate an upper wall and send moisture down inside it. We map wetness with a meter and imaging before deciding where to put drying equipment.

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.
Drying Tall Rooms and Heavy Masonry
Our job for the offices, shops and upstairs units around the bank is to dry the building, not rebuild it. Water comes out with extractors, ceilings and walls are opened only where readings demand, and equipment is staged to move air through high rooms rather than around them. Under IICRC S500 we revisit the meters every day, noting each wall and floor reading until it reaches the dry standard. Furniture, safes, file cabinets and display cases get lifted onto blocks or moved. Owners and tenants then receive photographs and logs they can hand straight to their insurance carriers.
Local conditions around the First National Bank
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.
Inside the city, Uvalde Utility Services runs water, gas and sewer, and the city says it is not responsible for leaks on private property. Find your meter and your main shut-off valve now, and call the utility’s leak line at (830) 278-6616 if the leak is on its side of the meter.
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 First National Bank: FAQs
Question not covered here? Call and ask. The phone is answered live day and night.
Why does brick take so long to dry?
Brick and stone are dense and absorb water deep into the wall, then release it slowly. Drying them takes controlled dehumidification and patience, and we confirm progress with daily readings rather than guessing from how the surface looks or feels.
Will you open up historic walls and ceilings?
Only as much as the readings justify. We prefer small access holes and drying in place, since original plaster and trim are hard to replace. If moisture is trapped behind a finish, we tell you why a section has to come out and photograph it first.
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.
