Dripping Springs calls itself the Gateway to the Hill Country, and the name fits: U.S. 290 climbs out of Austin's suburbs and the limestone starts here. The town was settled in the 1850s, stayed small until the 1990s, and has since grown into a ring of subdivisions along 290 and Ranch Road 12, from older acreage lots on wells to new master-planned communities with city or MUD water. Onion Creek has its headwaters just south of town.
Most of Dripping Springs sits on the Trinity Aquifer, and a lot of houses outside the city limits still run on private wells with pressure tanks and long supply lines, which fail differently from a city-water house. The ground is thin soil over limestone, so slabs move less than on the Blackland side of the county, but the pipes still froze in February 2021.
This site passes Dripping Springs homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. First the readings, then the scope, then the work.
A pressure-tank line or a well-house pipe that froze and split is burst pipe water damage, and the crew checks the wall it ran through as well as the floor. A tank heater in the garage of a 2000s house that let go overnight is water heater leak cleanup. Hail off a spring storm that opened a valley on a two-story roof is roof leak water damage once the tarp is on.
Repairs inside the limits go through the City of Dripping Springs; many addresses with a Dripping Springs ZIP are in the county or in a MUD, and the Hays Central Appraisal District property record shows which taxing units your lot falls under. Tell the crew which one you are in before the rebuild starts.
