Hutto sits on the Blackland Prairie in Williamson County, eight miles northeast of Pflugerville up SH 130, and it spent a century as a cotton town with a hippo for a mascot. The growth came after 2000, when subdivisions such as Star Ranch, Hutto Parke, and Glenwood covered the fields along Cottonwood Creek, and today the city adds new streets every year. Nearly every house is a slab home built after 2000, and most belong to an HOA.
The clay under Hutto is the deepest in the county, and the slabs poured over it crack tile and stress supply lines as the ground moves through the seasons. Cottonwood Creek and Brushy Creek both cross town and rise fast after a storm.
Hutto homeowners who call this line reach an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters every room of the house before deciding what opens.
A cracked tile and a wet spot that arrived in the same week in a Star Ranch house is slab leak detection work before it is a drying job. A builder-grade water heater in the attic that finally let go is water heater leak cleanup, and the ceiling below it gets metered first. Once the wet material is out, structural drying runs dehumidifiers against the humidity, not open windows.
Hutto ISD now runs eight elementary schools, three middle schools, and a ninth-grade center for a town that had one campus per grade level not long ago, which is the plainest measure of how many new slabs sit on this clay. Repairs inside the city limits pull permits from Hutto's own building office rather than Williamson County.

Water pumped and vacuumed off slab floors, tile, and carpet in a Pflugerville house, then every room metered to see how far it traveled.
Dehumidifiers and air movers run against Blackland Prairie humidity until drywall, cabinet bases, and subfloor read dry on the meter.
A warm tile, a cupped hallway floor, or a meter that spins with every tap closed traced to the slab line before any concrete opens.

Gilleland or Wilbarger Creek water and street runoff pulled out of a garage or ground floor, soaked materials removed, and the house dried.
An attic or garage tank that let go and the insulation, ceiling, and flooring it soaked on the way down, dried and documented.
A stained or sagging ceiling under an upstairs bath, an attic air handler, or a drain pan, opened only where the readings say wet.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after hail, a spring downpour, or wind found a gap in a Pflugerville roof.
