Water Damage Restoration in Taylor, TX

Taylor was auctioned into existence in 1876 ahead of the International-Great Northern Railroad and spent a century as a cotton and rail town of about 15,000 people, with a brick downtown that has stood in for small-town America in Varsity Blues and Friday Night Lights. In November 2021 Samsung announced a 17 billion dollar semiconductor plant on the edge of town, and the subdivisions that followed are the first big wave of new slab houses Taylor has seen in decades.

The old town sits on Blackland clay east of Round Rock, and the older houses are pier-and-beam frame homes from the 1900s through the 1950s. Taylor also carries the county's worst flood memory: on September 9 and 10, 1921, nearly 40 inches of rain fell in 36 hours, and 87 people died in the flooding of the San Gabriel River and Brushy Creek around the town.

This site routes Taylor homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider sees the house before the scope exists.

Taylor water damage, old frame houses and new slabs

A pier-and-beam house near downtown holds water under the floorboards, so water extraction there means metering the subfloor from below as well as the rooms. A new slab home in one of the subdivisions west of town with a warm floor is a leak detection call. When Mustang Creek or the San Gabriel comes out of its banks, flash flood cleanup treats what came in as contaminated water.

The Taylor permit office and the creeks that remember 1921

Repairs inside the city limits go through the City of Taylor, which issues the permits and runs the water utility that can shut a meter at the curb. Mustang Creek runs through the middle of town and Brushy Creek passes to the south, and both still flood the low streets after a hard rain.
