Downtown around the Raye
The Raye Theater opened on June 29, 1938. It was designed by San Antonio architect Bartlett Cocke in the Streamline Moderne style, with a glass-block tower and original ticket booth that still survive. After repairs in the mid-2000s it went back to showing first-run films. It sits on Avenue M about a block from City Hall, in the heart of Hondo's historic downtown.
Around it are the brick commercial buildings that make up downtown: shops and restaurants at street level, offices and apartments above, many sharing walls and roofs.

How we help downtown businesses
We extract first, protect stock and fixtures, and place drying equipment so you can reopen as soon as it is safe. For kitchens and backups, we clean and sanitise to the Category 2 or 3 standard before drying. When water crosses between units, each space is documented separately for its owner or tenant.
Business owners: know where the building's water shut-off and fire-sprinkler control valve are, and keep an after-hours contact list for your neighbours. Most downtown losses get worse because nobody can reach the water valve.

FAQ
Raye Theater: water damage FAQs
Still unsure? A person answers the phone 24/7 and can talk you through it.
Our restaurant had a backup in the kitchen. Can we reopen today?
That depends on the water category and how far it spread. We contain, clean and sanitise first. Small, clean losses can reopen quickly; sewage backups need full cleaning before food service resumes.
Water is coming through our ceiling from upstairs. What should I do?
Contact the upstairs occupant or owner to shut off the water, turn off power to affected lights and outlets, move stock away, and call us.
Do you work after hours?
Yes. We answer and dispatch 24/7, so we can start after closing to limit downtime.
