Windermere is the 1,871-home neighborhood off Grand Avenue Parkway on the west side of Pflugerville, built from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s and run by a homeowners association organized in 1981. The houses are mostly single-story slab homes between 900 and 3,000 square feet on small lots, with wide streets, mature trees, and a community pool, tennis courts, and playground. Windermere is one of the few parts of Pflugerville not on the city's water system; Texas Water Utilities serves it.
Forty years on, the copper under these slabs and the galvanized lines in the earliest sections are at the end of their lives, and the water heaters are in garages and hall closets rather than attics.
We put Windermere homeowners through to an independent local water damage provider. The provider walks the house with a meter before deciding anything.
A warm tile and a water bill that climbed for three months is a slab leak detection call, and the crew will ask whether the house has ever been repiped. A garage water heater that rusted through and soaked the shared wall is water heater leak cleanup work. With the wet material gone, structural drying equipment runs until the readings reach target.
The Windermere Homeowners Association has run the neighborhood since 1981 with a volunteer board, and its rules on dumpsters and contractor hours still apply to a rebuild. Water and sewer here come from Texas Water Utilities, not the city, so that is who shuts the meter at the curb if the house valve will not turn.
Call (512) 855-6202 and tell us where the floor is warm. An independent local water damage provider serving Windermere takes the call.
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.
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.
