Mold Remediation →The July 2026 Nueces River Flood
After days of heavy rain in the Hill Country, the water came down the Nueces to Cotulla.
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| July 20 to 21 | About 350 first responders staged in La Salle County. The river reached 23 feet, then 24 feet |
| July 21 | Shelter-in-place ordered near the KOA campground west of town |
| Crest | 29 feet 3 inches at Cotulla |
| July 24 | River down to about 25 feet. At least 48 homes damaged, at least six with major damage. Several roads still closed |
Local officials went door to door and urged evacuations before the crest, and the governor called the county's response a model. Early warning saved lives. The water still did its damage to homes.
Flood Cleanup in Cotulla, TX: After the River Drops
- Wait for the all-clear and for roads to reopen.
- Photograph the water line in every room before cleaning.
- Keep the power off to flooded areas until an electrician checks them.
- Have the mud and water extracted.
- Remove carpet, pad, insulation, and wet drywall. River water is contaminated.
- Disinfect and dry the framing until readings confirm it is dry.
Outbuildings, RVs, and hunting cabins near the river need the same steps.
Boom-Town Housing and Water
The Eagle Ford Shale brought hotels, apartments, RV parks, and fast-built subdivisions along I-35. That housing has its own water problems.
- Rentals and worker housing. A slow leak can run for weeks before a tenant reports it.
- RV parks and manufactured homes. Water collects underneath and soaks insulation and subfloors.
- Fast construction. Grading and plumbing put in quickly can send water toward foundations or leak at fittings.
- Older homes near downtown. Aging pipes and older roofs meet every storm.
Cloudbursts Away From the River
Brush-country storms drop inches of rain on hard, dry ground that cannot absorb it. Water sheets across lots, fills draws, and ponds against foundations, far from the Nueces. Treat that water as contaminated too.
