Water damage restoration in Boerne, TX

Housing in Boerne and where water damage starts

Boerne has about 8,240 homes, and half of them were built in 2006 or earlier. The city added roughly 4,848 residents between 2020 and 2024 (27.1%), so a large share of homes are recent builds. Most of the city is newer construction, with 68% of homes built in 2000 or later. Newer homes rely heavily on drywall, engineered flooring, plastic supply lines and appliance connections, so water from a failed hose, water heater or fixture can wick into walls and under cabinets quickly.

Boerne climate and water risk

The nearest NOAA normals station, Boerne, records 37.5 inches of precipitation in a normal year. That is a moderate total, but in this region it tends to arrive in concentrated storms rather than steady drizzle. The station averages 11.4 days a year with an inch or more of rain, the kind of day when gutters overflow and water finds its way through thresholds and window wells. It also averages 40 nights a year at or below freezing, which makes frozen and burst pipes in exterior walls, attics and crawl spaces a real winter risk.

Disaster history in Kendall County

FEMA records 11 major disaster declarations covering Kendall County since 2000. 6 of the county's declarations on record were classified as floods. 1 was a hurricane or tropical storm, a reminder that wind-driven rain and storm surge are part of the local risk picture. The most recent water-related declaration was DR-4935 (Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, and Flooding), declared in September 2026. Before that: DR-4879, severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding (July 2025); DR-4705, severe winter storm (April 2023). Declarations mark the largest events; most household water damage comes from smaller storms and everyday plumbing failures that never reach that level.
