Tech Ridge is the stretch of northeast Austin where I-35 meets Parmer Lane, five miles south of Pflugerville, named for the office and factory campuses that lined Parmer in the 1990s. The neighborhoods around it, from Copperfield to the streets off Tech Ridge Boulevard, are 1990s and 2000s slab homes and townhomes on small lots, with apartment complexes between them and Walnut Creek's tributaries running through the greenbelts.
The houses here share Pflugerville's clay and Pflugerville's plumbing habits: attic water heaters, supply lines through unconditioned space, and copper or early PEX under the slab. The difference is jurisdiction. Tech Ridge is inside Austin, so the permits, the water utility, and the inspectors are the city's.
We route Tech Ridge homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Meter readings come first; the scope follows them.
A brown ring under the attic in a Copperfield house is water heater leak cleanup work, and the insulation above it comes out. A hallway floor that cupped with no visible leak is a slab leak detection call. With the wet material gone, structural drying equipment runs until each day's readings come down to target.
Samsung Austin Semiconductor has run its fab off Parmer Lane since 1996 and employs about 4,500 people, many of whom live within a few miles. The CapMetro Tech Ridge Park and Ride is the north end of the city's rapid bus line, and the ridge it sits on is why the streets below it drain fast toward Walnut Creek in a storm.
Call (512) 855-6202 and tell us which floor is wet. An independent local water damage provider serving Tech Ridge picks it up from there.
Water pumped and vacuumed off slab floors, tile, and carpet in a Pflugerville house, then every room metered to see how far it traveled.
