Florence sits about fourteen miles northwest of Georgetown on Highway 195, a farm town of about 1,200 people at the edge of the Hill Country where the limestone starts. The old town has frame houses and a few stone buildings from the 1880s through the 1930s, many of them on piers, and the newer homes on the county roads around town are slab construction from the 1990s onward, often on wells and septic rather than city lines.
Salado Creek and the North Fork of the San Gabriel both start in the hills west of Florence, and the low-water crossings on the farm roads flood before anything else in the county.
This site connects Florence homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house before anything is decided.
A pier-and-beam house in town that took a burst supply line through the floor needs crawl space water extraction under it as well as drying above. A house on a well where the pump kept feeding a split line during the February 2021 freeze is frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew wants to know how long it ran. Standing water from any source starts with water extraction.
Inside the city limits, the City of Florence handles building permits for a rebuild; the ranches and county roads around it go through Williamson County. A house on a well shuts off at the pump breaker rather than a meter, and the crew should be told which one you have.
Call (512) 399-1654 and say what got wet. We put you through to a local water damage provider serving Florence.
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.

Drywall, trim, flooring, and paint put back after drying, with historic-district rules and city permits handled before the work starts.
