Fill out our form to inquire about Quick Dry Restoration services.
Quick Dry Restoration’s restoration services for Cedar Park, TX homes and businesses cover water damage restoration, mold remediation, fire and smoke damage restoration, and the rebuild with our own reconstruction crew. Mold work is done under TDLR Mold Remediation Company license RCO 1589, and someone picks up (512) 540-4747 at any hour for a water or fire loss.
Our crews work in Twin Creeks, Buttercup Creek, Forest Oaks, Vista Ridge and Cedar Grove, and next door in Leander and Round Rock.
The first visit costs nothing. We read moisture in the wet rooms, photograph the loss for your adjuster, and hand you a written line-item estimate. If the claim is approved, we can bill your carrier directly.
Brushy Creek is held back by the Upper Brushy Creek WCID’s Dam 7 at Brushy Creek Lake Park, built in 1965, 55 feet high, with 5,264 acre-feet of storage. It is one of more than 20 dams the district runs, and the district says it protects homes downstream. The dams limit flooding near them. They do not keep the crossings open: the Krienke Ranch Road low-water crossing was out of service from the 2015 floods until the city replaced it in spring 2021.
When a Cedar Park home takes on water, the first hour runs the same for creek water and for a split line. Find the source and stop it. Pull standing water with industrial water extractors. Map the wet area with moisture meters and an infrared camera. Set high-velocity air movers and commercial dehumidifiers. Creek water is treated as contaminated, so wet drywall and carpet pad come out.
Most Cedar Park water losses start inside the house, not at the creek. The city’s water stayed on through the February 2021 freeze, and the city issued no boil-water notice. The damage happened inside houses. On February 25, 2021, the City Council raised the water-bill leak adjustment from the normal 50 percent to 100 percent and waived the plumbing permit fee for 30 days.
The city’s residential inspection sequence is written for slab construction: copper water lines are set and protected before the concrete is poured. A leak under that slab shows up as a warm spot on the floor, a water bill that jumps, or damp carpet at the base of a wall.
What to do in the first ten minutes is on our Cedar Park water damage cleanup page.
Quick Dry Restoration holds TDLR Mold Remediation Company license RCO 1589, and each job is led by a TDLR-licensed Mold Remediation Contractor.
Cedar Park’s mold driver is on the record. In the February 2021 freeze, a line split, the homeowner shut the valve, mopped up and ran a fan for a day. The wall cavity and bottom plate stayed wet. EPA guidance is to dry wet material within 24 to 48 hours. Past that, the back of the drywall grows mold, and the first sign is a musty smell.
We start with a free on-site evaluation and a written line-item estimate. At 25 contiguous square feet or more, Texas requires an independent licensed mold assessment consultant to write the protocol and perform the clearance. We work from that plan: contain, remove, run HEPA air scrubbers, dry. See mold remediation in Cedar Park for how a licensed job runs here, or the main mold remediation page.
On August 8, 2023, a brush fire off West Parmer Lane burned 37 acres by the city’s final count, destroyed a 24-unit building at the Bexley at Silverado apartments, damaged three others, and forced the evacuation of 395 residences and multiple businesses. Fire Chief James Mallinger calls Cedar Park a wildland urban interface, normally at moderate fire risk, with the risk climbing when it is dry and windy. The city’s Wildfire Prevention page asks for 30 feet of defensible space around the house.
After a fire we board up, remove smoke and soot from surfaces and the duct system, pack out and clean contents, and rebuild. See fire damage restoration.
Rebuild permits come from City of Cedar Park Development Services, Building Permits & Inspections, 450 Cypress Creek Road, Building 1, 512-401-5100. Applications and inspection requests go through the MGO Connect portal, and any contractor pulling a permit must be registered with the city first. The city adopted the 2021 IRC with local amendments effective June 1, 2022. Inspection requests cut off at 4:00 p.m. and can roll to the next business day. A remodel that moves an interior wall or touches plumbing, electrical or mechanical work needs a permit.
Typical scope after a Cedar Park water or fire loss: drywall, insulation, base trim, cabinets, flooring and paint, done by our own crew. See reconstruction.

On May 5, 2018, Cedar Park voters redirected one-eighth of a cent of the city’s existing sales tax out of economic development and into a dedicated Stormwater Drainage Program, which started October 1, 2018. The council adopted a Stormwater Master Plan on March 28, 2019 and updated it in 2025. The money is already visible on the ground: the Cluck Creek Lower project regraded the creek to carry runoff and relocated the water lines that ran through it.
The flood maps are unusual here too. The preliminary FEMA maps posted January 30, 2017 came out of a Texas Water Development Board and Upper Brushy Creek WCID study of the whole Upper Brushy Creek watershed, with the city sitting on the technical advisory committee. If your lot backs onto a creek, look up your panel before you need it. Floodplain questions go to the city Engineering Department; the city directory lists it at 512-401-5350.
Every one of these subdivisions is on the city’s own plat map.
We photograph the loss, log moisture readings daily, and send the file to your adjuster. Direct billing is available once the claim is approved. One Cedar Park point worth knowing before the claim starts: a standard homeowners policy does not cover creek flooding. Because the city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, an owner along Block House, Buttercup or Brushy creek can carry a separate flood policy, and the FEMA panel for the lot decides whether a lender requires one. We document the cause of loss either way.
Did Cedar Park lose water during Winter Storm Uri?
No. The city said its public distribution system had no issues and it had no plans to shut off water, and it asked residents to conserve. It still ran water filling stations at City Hall, 450 Cypress Creek Road, from February 19 to 21, 2021, 20 gallons per family, and the bottled water it handed out on February 19 was gone by 1:30 p.m. Cedar Park’s losses were frozen lines inside houses, not a plant failure.
Who do I call if the leak is on the street side of the meter?
City of Cedar Park Public Works, 512-401-5550. Cedar Park runs its own municipal water system, treated at the city’s Don Webster Water Treatment Plant. If the leak is on the house side of the meter, shut the house valve and call us at (512) 540-4747.
Does a water or fire rebuild in Cedar Park need a permit?
Yes, if it moves or removes an interior wall or touches plumbing, electrical or mechanical work. The permit comes from Development Services, Building Permits & Inspections at 450 Cypress Creek Road, Building 1, through the MGO Connect portal. Any contractor pulling it must be registered with the city, and inspection requests placed after 4:00 p.m. can roll to the next business day.
When is wildfire risk highest in Cedar Park?
Winter and summer. Cedar Park’s fire chief points to dry air behind winter cold fronts and to summer heat and drought, and calls the city a wildland urban interface whose normal moderate risk climbs when it is dry and windy. The Parmer Lane fire came on August 8, 2023. The city’s Wildfire Prevention page asks for at least 30 feet of defensible space around the house.
Call (512) 540-4747. Tell us the Cedar Park address, where the water is coming from, and if it is still running. We will tell you what to shut off and when a crew can be there. Quick Dry Restoration, 1019 S Heatherwilde Blvd, Suite 120, Pflugerville, TX 78660. Free on-site evaluation and written line-item estimate.
