Manor is the Travis County town on US 290 east of Austin, eleven miles southeast of Pflugerville, and it grew from about 5,000 people in 2010 to more than 13,000 in 2020 as ShadowGlen, Presidential Glen, Stonewater, and the other subdivisions along the highway filled in. The old town center along the railroad has a few frame houses on piers from the 1900s; everything built since 2000 is a slab home in an HOA subdivision.
The town sits at about 531 feet on the flattest, deepest Blackland clay in the region, and Gilleland Creek and Wilbarger Creek both pass through on their way to the Colorado River. When a storm stalls, the low streets take water and the slabs shift as the clay swells.
This line puts Manor homeowners through to an independent local water damage provider, who inspects the home before writing anything down.
A slab that has been wet under the laminate for weeks in a ShadowGlen house is structural drying work, and it takes dehumidifiers and time. A warm patch and a climbing water bill is a slab leak detection call before anyone touches the floor. When Gilleland Creek backs up into a garage off Lexington Street, creek flood cleanup treats the water as contaminated.
Travis County ESD 12, the Manor fire district, has covered 95 square miles of northeast Travis County since 1996 and now runs more than 5,000 calls a year, a good share of them water rescues at low crossings. Manor ISD serves more than 9,800 students across fifteen campuses, and its enrollment map is a fair picture of which fields became subdivisions last.
Call (512) 855-6202 and say where the water showed up. Manor calls go to an independent local water damage provider.
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.
Ceilings, walls, and floors soaked when an attic or garage line split in a February freeze, pumped out and dried once the valve is off.
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.
