Fill out our form to inquire about Quick Dry Restoration services.
Quick Dry Restoration handles water damage cleanup and restoration in Bee Cave: water removal with industrial water extractors, structural drying checked with daily moisture readings, and the rebuild by our own crew. The phone is answered 24 hours a day at (512) 540-4747.
From the Hill Country Galleria area to The Homestead and the Hamilton Pool Road subdivisions, plus Spanish Oaks and Falconhead West, we dry Bee Cave houses and businesses.
If water is in the house now: close the main if it is a supply line, kill the breaker to any room with water at the outlets, move rugs and boxes off the wet floor, and take photos before you touch anything else. Then call (512) 540-4747 and tell us what the water is and how long it has been there.
A 2021 engineering study told the city that Little Barton Creek rarely overtops Great Divide, and that when it does, the flooding lasts hours. Water inside a house does not leave on that schedule. Once the crossing is passable we pull standing water with industrial water extractors, mark the wet walls and floors with moisture meters and an infrared camera, and get high-velocity air movers running on the same visit. See water damage restoration.
The 300-foot buffer on Little Barton Creek is a water quality rule for the creek. It says nothing about what the creek carries once it is in your living room. Overland flood water gets the same handling as a backed-up drain line: it is contaminated. Carpet, pad and the wet band of drywall come out and are bagged, hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, HEPA air scrubbers run while material is disturbed, and we photograph every cut height for the claim. See sewage backup cleanup.
Bee Cave is not its own water utility. Most of the city gets water from the West Travis County Public Utility Agency, which draws Colorado River water at its Lake Austin intake and treats it at the Uplands plant; Falconhead West is on Travis County WCID 17. If a line is running and you cannot turn the house valve, the meter belongs to WTCPUA or WCID 17, not City Hall. Keep that number. Then call us. We extract, open the wall and dry the cavity. See burst pipe cleanup.
In Bee Cave, replacing a water heater needs a city permit, and so does a replacement HVAC unit. That matters because the pan under a 2010s water heater and the condensate line on an air handler are the usual slow leaks in a house this age, and the fix is often a replacement permitted through MyGovernmentOnline.org. We pull the unit, extract, dry the closet and the wall behind it, and document the cause. A leak that sat for weeks usually becomes a mold remediation job.
Lake Travis rose 9 feet in 24 hours to full, 681 feet, on July 17, 2026. LCRA opened Mansfield Dam’s floodgates the next morning, the first there in seven years. The June 14 storms had put Travis County on the Governor’s June 15 disaster proclamation for flash flooding and large hail, and one-inch hail fell a mile from Bee Cave on March 23, 2025. Bee Cave is not on the shoreline; the lakeside and creekside homes we dry after these events sit in the Lake Travis area around it.
Creek water is the Bee Cave loss people plan for least. City code gives Little Barton Creek a 300-foot water quality buffer where other waterways get 85 feet, and on May 8, 2019 the creek went over the Great Divide Drive crossing and residents of The Homestead could not get home. Four days earlier the Barton Creek gauge at SH 71 near Oak Hill had crested at 24.34 feet against a 12-foot flood stage, second only to the 24.83-foot record of October 30, 2015. Water from a creek is contaminated, and it is handled that way.
The Hill Country Galleria at Bee Cave Road, RM 620 and Hwy 71 is 1.3 million square feet: 713,000 of retail, 285,000 of Class A office, 300,000 of apartments and 100,000 of condominiums, with City Hall and the library inside it. A supply line failure above a tenant space there is a multi-tenant loss. The Village at Spanish Oaks adds 80 acres of mixed use south of Hwy 71. On commercial jobs we set containment so the rest of the floor stays open, work after hours, and document each tenant’s space on its own.
If we open a wall and find mold, the remediation follows its own Texas process with an independent assessor. Bee Cave mold remediation covers what happens next.

The photo set, daily moisture log, cut list and a written line-item estimate go to your adjuster, and direct billing is available. Bee Cave’s home values make the documentation matter more, not less: the estimate has to name what was in the house. Creek or lake water falls under flood coverage, which is its own policy. A split line or a failed water heater is usually a covered sudden loss. We name the cause of loss in the file before drying starts.
From the Galleria to the Hamilton Pool Road developments, these are the Bee Cave-area subdivisions we work in.
Great Divide is barricaded. Can you reach The Homestead?
Not until the creek drops, and the crew does not drive around a barricade. The city’s 2021 study found Little Barton Creek rarely overtops Great Divide and that the flooding lasts hours, so the crew stages at the crossing and comes through when the road is clear. The Barton Creek gauge at SH 71 near Oak Hill is the public number we watch while the creek is up.
Did the July 2026 Lake Travis rise flood Bee Cave?
Bee Cave is not on the Lake Travis shoreline, so the 9-foot rise and the July 18 floodgate operation hit lakeside and downstream property, not the city itself. What Bee Cave gets from a storm like that is runoff and creek water on Little Barton Creek and the crossings. If your house is lakeside in the surrounding area, the drying job is the same and we cover it.
Is creek water in my house a homeowners claim?
No. Water that rises out of Little Barton Creek or overland from a storm is a flood loss, and a standard homeowners policy excludes it; flood coverage is a separate policy. A line that split or a water heater that let go is usually a covered sudden loss. We document the source on the first visit so the claim goes to the right policy.
Call (512) 540-4747 and say Bee Cave, the subdivision, and where the water is. We will get a crew moving and stay on the phone while you find the shutoff.
