Water Damage and Fire Restoration in Williamson County
A 2021 Texas Senate bill analysis described 23 flood-control dams in the Upper Brushy Creek district that began as low-hazard dams in rural areas and now sit in rapidly developing areas with a high-hazard risk classification. We take on water damage restoration and fire damage cleanup for Williamson County homeowners, 24/7.
Water and fire damage help for Williamson County homes
Water damage tops the list here, with house fire cleanup second.
Old flood dams, new subdivisions
The source is the Texas Senate Research Center's analysis of S.B. 588, dated March 24, 2021. It says the Upper Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District operates and maintains the 23 flood control structures. The district set up a dam safety program in 2000.
Rapid development is the part the census can measure. Williamson County added 143,768 people from 2020 to July 1, 2025, a 23.6% gain, for an estimated 752,827 residents (Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates). The houses are young, too. In the American Community Survey's 2020-2024 estimates, the county's median home dates to 2006, the newest of the six counties on this site, and just 9.4% of its 262,644 housing units predate 1980.
A long flood record, and where our work starts
In the rains of September 8-10, 1921, centered on Williamson County, bucket surveys found 32 inches in 12 hours at Thrall, and Taylor logged 23.98 inches over 35 hours. Across Central Texas, the flooding took at least 224 lives and caused more than 19 million dollars in property damage, a U.S. Geological Survey summary notes. For the flooding of July 2-18, 2025, FEMA's DR-4879 declaration designated the county for Individual Assistance as well as Public Assistance.
Flood-control structures are the district's job. Ours starts indoors, after clean water from a burst pipe, a leaking dishwasher or an overflowing tub soaks into floors and walls. For water damage in a Williamson County home, our water damage restoration help starts with extracting the water. Then we dry the structure and log moisture readings until the materials are dry. We'd rather measure than guess.
Dry spells, burn bans and house fires
Dry weather brings the other risk. On August 18, 2026, the Williamson County Commissioners Court put a burn ban on unincorporated areas, scheduled to end November 16, 2026 unless county officials lifted it earlier. The county's drought index was averaging 596, just below the 600 threshold its report cited, My Neighborhood News reported.
A burn ban targets outdoor fire. Inside the house is where we come in. After a house fire, our fire damage restoration cleans soot and smoke residue off walls, ceilings, cabinets and trim, and dries out the water used to put the fire out. Odor often outlasts the soot; smoke odor removal after a fire deals with that last stage.

Because the land around them changed. In the Texas Senate Research Center's March 2021 analysis of S.B. 588, the Upper Brushy Creek district's 23 structures "were built originally as low-hazard dams in rural areas, but are now in rapidly developing areas with a high-hazard risk classification." For questions about a particular dam, go to the district, which operates and maintains them.
Yes. FEMA's DR-4879 declaration, dated July 6, 2025, covers the severe weather and flooding of July 2-18, 2025, and designates Williamson County for Individual Assistance and for Public Assistance. FEMA decides who qualifies. Our part is narrower: when a broken line or appliance soaks your floors, we pull the water out and dry the house.
