Driftwood is an unincorporated community in the hills of western Hays County where FM 150 meets FM 1826, known for a barbecue restaurant that has drawn weekend crowds since the 1960s and for the wineries and wedding venues along the farm roads. The houses are ranchettes and custom homes on several acres each, almost all on private wells into the Trinity Aquifer with pressure tanks, long supply runs, and septic systems. Onion Creek winds through the area on its way east.
A well house with a cracked pressure-tank fitting leaks differently from a city-water house: the pump keeps running, the bill does not change, and the only clue is a wet spot in the yard or a pump that never shuts off. The soil is thin over limestone, so slabs stay put, but the attic lines froze here in February 2021 like everywhere else.
This site passes Driftwood homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The scope follows the meter readings, never the other way around.
A pump that will not stop and a damp wall where the supply line enters the house is a leak detection call. A line that froze in the well house or the attic during Winter Storm Uri is burst pipe water damage. A hail-damaged roof that leaked in the next storm is roof leak water damage once the roofer has it covered.
Private wells in western Hays County fall under the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, which tracks the Trinity Aquifer and the drought stages that govern it. Tell the crew the house is on a well so they know where the shutoff is and that the water is not metered.

Standing water pulled off slab floors, tile, and rental carpet in a San Marcos house, then every room metered to see where it ran.
Dehumidifiers and air movers run against Hays County humidity until drywall, cabinets, and subfloor read dry on the meter.
A warm tile, a meter that will not stop, or a soft wall traced to a slab line or a wall pipe before anyone opens concrete.
Ceilings, walls, and floors soaked when an attic or exterior-wall line split in a freeze, extracted and dried after the valve closes.
Blanco River silt, Purgatory Creek runoff, and street water pulled out of a ground floor, ruined materials removed, and the house dried.
A failed tank in a garage, closet, or attic, with the ceiling, insulation, and walls below it metered and dried.
A sagging or stained ceiling under an upstairs bath, a roof leak, or an attic unit, opened only as far as the meter says.
Hail-cracked shingles and lifted flashing that let a storm into the attic, with the wet insulation and ceiling dried once the roof is covered.
