Bartlett sits about 25 miles northeast of Georgetown on Highway 95, straddling the Williamson and Bell county line, a town of about 1,600 with a brick main street so intact that it has stood in for the 1920s in more than one film. The Bartlett Commercial Historic District dates to the railroad years, and the frame and brick houses around it go from the 1890s to the 1940s, mostly on piers over the Blackland clay. Newer homes are few and sit on slabs at the edge of town. The old houses carry old plumbing: galvanized supply lines spliced to copper, cast-iron drains with a century of scale, and a water heater that was moved from a back porch to a closet sometime in the 1970s.
Bartlett was the headquarters of the Bartlett-Florence Railway from 1909 until it was abandoned in 1935, and the town has grown slowly since.
This site connects Bartlett homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. Nothing gets scoped until the provider has read the walls with a meter.
A pier-and-beam house from 1905 that took a washer flood through the floor needs crawl space water extraction under it. The long-leaf pine floor above gets hardwood floor drying before anyone pulls it. A supply line that froze in an uninsulated wall during the February 2021 freeze is frozen pipe cleanup.
The City of Bartlett issues permits inside its limits, and which county handles the rest depends on which side of the line the house sits. Most of the town center is in Bell County and most of its area in Williamson, so ask before assuming.
Call (512) 399-1654 and say what got wet. We put you through to a local water damage provider serving Bartlett.
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.
