Wimberley sits where Cypress Creek meets the Blanco River, in a valley of cypress trees and limestone bluffs that has drawn weekend houses and retirees since the 1920s. The houses range from old river cabins on piers along River Road to stone-and-cedar Hill Country homes on the hillsides, most of them on wells and septic rather than city water. The square, the Blue Hole, and Jacob's Well bring visitors all summer.
The Blanco is also why Wimberley is known far beyond Hays County. On the night of May 23, 2015, the river rose from about 5 feet to around 41 feet in a few hours, with a 20-foot jump in a single hour, and the USGS later estimated the peak at 44.9 feet. Hundreds of homes along the river were destroyed or swept away. The October 30, 2015 flood brought the river up again to 26.54 feet at the Wimberley gauge.
This site passes Wimberley homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Scope follows readings on every job here.
A river house that took water in a flash flood is a flash flood cleanup job, and the materials the Blanco touched come out. A hillside house where a well-pump line or an attic pipe froze in February 2021 is burst pipe water damage, with ceilings and walls to dry. Because the valley holds humidity after a rain, structural drying means dehumidifiers, not open doors.
Repairs inside the city limits go through the City of Wimberley; many houses in the valley are outside the limits and fall under the county instead, so tell the crew which you are. The Watershed Association has worked on Cypress Creek and the Blanco since 1996 and is the group to follow when the river is rising.

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.
