Water Damage Restoration in Dessau, TX
Dessau is the German settlement along Dessau Road in Travis County, between Pflugerville and the Austin city limits, that gave its name to the road, the middle school, and the dance hall. Christian Nehring deeded the land for the Evangelical Lutheran church in 1874, and the congregation met there for 118 years until it closed in 1994. What surrounds the old church and cemetery today is 1980s through 2000s subdivisions, duplexes, and apartment complexes strung along Dessau Road from Braker Lane north to Pecan Street.
Most of Dessau is slab housing on Blackland clay, much of it thirty to forty years old, and the area splits between the Austin city limits, Pflugerville's limits, and unincorporated Travis County, sometimes block by block.
Dessau homeowners who call this line reach an independent local water damage provider. The provider walks the house with a meter before deciding anything.
Dessau water damage on three jurisdictions and one clay
A duplex with a shared wall that reads wet on both sides is a water extraction job that involves two owners, so say so when you call. A 1985 slab with a warm tile is a slab leak detection call. A 2000s two-story with a split attic line from the 2021 freeze is burst pipe water damage work.
The cemetery that outlasted the church
The Dessau Lutheran Cemetery Association still keeps the grounds at 13300 Dessau Road that the church left behind, and its records are the fullest account of the farm community that was here before the subdivisions. Whether your repair permit goes to Austin, Pflugerville, or Travis County depends on which side of the line your lot sits, and the provider will ask.
Call (512) 855-6202 and describe the wet room. Dessau calls go to an independent local water damage provider.
