Settlers Ridge is the south Pflugerville neighborhood reached from Wells Branch Parkway by way of Heatherwilde Boulevard and Olympic Drive, built from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s by Highland, Legacy, Centex, and Milburn on lots of a fifth to two-fifths of an acre, which is larger than almost anything built here since. The houses are one- and two-story slab homes that wrap around Creekside Park, the city park along the creek that gives the neighborhood its shape.
The 1980s sections have copper under the slab and a water heater in the garage; the late-1990s sections start to show attic heaters. All of it sits on Blackland clay that has had thirty to forty years to work on the lines.
Settlers Ridge homeowners who call this line reach an independent local water damage provider. Meter readings come first; the scope follows them.
A hallway floor that cupped in a 1988 house with no visible leak is a slab leak detection call. A late-1990s two-story with a ring on the ceiling under the attic is water heater leak cleanup work. A garage on the low side of the park that took creek water in a stalled storm is creek flood cleanup, and porous materials come out.
Creekside Park's low ground is where the neighborhood's runoff goes first, and the houses that back to it are the ones that see water in the yard when a storm sits over south Pflugerville. Settlers Ridge is inside the city, and rebuild permits go through Pflugerville's building inspections desk.
Call (512) 855-6202 and say which side of the park you are on. Settlers Ridge calls go to an independent local water damage provider.
