Water Oak is the 755-acre community on the south side of Georgetown between Highway 29 and the South Fork of the San Gabriel, with about 360 acres left as greenbelt along the river. Homes from several builders went in through the 2010s, single- and two-story slab houses on the limestone bluff above the water. The trail system runs down to the river, and the lowest lots look straight at the floodplain. The houses themselves are the standard for the decade: PEX supply lines in the attic, a water heater in the garage or a second-floor closet, engineered wood or tile over the slab, and a laundry room that is upstairs in most of the two-story plans.
The South Fork rose about 30 feet through Georgetown on July 5, 2025, and the river trail here went under with it.
This site connects Water Oak homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider sees the house before writing a scope.
A house near the river that took water into the garage is flood cleanup, handled as contaminated. A second-floor laundry room that overflowed is washing machine overflow cleanup on two levels. A line that split in the attic during a freeze is frozen pipe cleanup.
Water Oak is inside the city, so rebuild permits come from Georgetown, and the HOA has rules about contractor access. The river frontage was set aside for the city's regional trail, which is why the water reaches the trail long before it reaches a house.

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.
Water pumped from under an Old Town pier-and-beam house, then joists and subfloor metered and dried from below.
Cupped long-leaf pine or engineered wood dried in place with mats and readings before anyone decides to tear it out.
Contaminated water and the flooring, drywall, and contents it touched removed under containment after a drain or main line backed up.
A failed hose or a clogged standpipe drained onto the laundry room floor and into the hall. The water is pulled and the walls metered.
Mud, debris, and contaminated water cleared after the San Gabriel or a creek came up, then wet materials removed and the house dried.
Drywall, trim, flooring, and paint put back after drying, with historic-district rules and city permits handled before the work starts.
