Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, a town of about 67,000 at the 2020 count that has since passed 100,000, spread across the meeting point of the North and South Forks of the San Gabriel River at roughly 750 feet. The 1909 Beaux Arts courthouse anchors a square lined with Victorian storefronts, and the frame houses of the Belford, University Avenue, and Olive Street districts fan out from it on piers over crawl spaces. Beyond them, Sun City, Berry Creek, Wolf Ranch, and Parkside on the River sit on slabs over limestone to the west and Blackland clay to the east.
The river rose about 30 feet on July 5, 2025 and put the parks and two apartment complexes under water. The February 2021 freeze split attic lines across every neighborhood in town.
This site connects Georgetown homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house in person, then writes the scope from what the meter says.
A pine floor in an 1890s house that let a washer flood through to the dirt is a crawl space water extraction job on top of the drying upstairs. A line that split in a Sun City attic during a freeze is frozen pipe cleanup, and the ceiling below it usually comes down. River water in a garage near San Gabriel Park is flood cleanup, handled as contaminated from the first hour.
Rebuild permits inside the city come from the Georgetown permit office, and the historic districts add a design review for anything visible from the street. When a water loss turns into an injury, St. David's Georgetown Hospital on Scenic Drive runs the emergency room closest to the square, a 118-bed hospital north of the courthouse. Two blocks off the square, the Georgetown Palace Theatre keeps its 1920s-era Springer Stage on Austin Avenue in one of the same brick buildings that the river has never quite reached.

Standing water pumped off a slab, a pier-and-beam floor, or a garage, then the first meter readings to see which walls it reached.
Cleanup after an attic or exterior-wall line split in a hard freeze, then drying of the ceilings, walls, and floors the thaw soaked.
