Did the July 2025 flood get into Georgetown homes?
The city described its own recovery inside city limits as mostly parks and trails, and by August 29 it had opened a debris-removal program for private property, which is the closest thing to a damage count it has published. In September 2018, the last big crest before this one, the city reported no flooded homes inside city limits and structure flooding outside them. If your house took water either time and dried on its own, the wall cavities are the question, not the floor.
I live outside Georgetown city limits. Who issues my rebuild permit?
Check who sends your utility bill. If Georgetown Utility Systems is your water, wastewater or electric provider, the city says a city building permit applies even at an ETJ or county address. If it is not, the permit is Williamson County’s, and the County Engineer’s Office at 3151 SE Inner Loop is the floodplain administrator for the unincorporated county. We sort this out as part of the reconstruction scope.
What happened to Georgetown’s water in the February 2021 freeze?
About 19,500 Georgetown Utility Systems water accounts went on a boil-water notice from February 16, 2021 while crews repaired burst mains and lift and pump stations. The notice was lifted for about 15,900 customers on February 20, with about 2,190 still under it. The electric side ran ERCOT-ordered rotating outages that residents reported at 12 hours or more. A pipe that split that week often showed itself only when pressure came back.
Can Quick Dry Restoration test for mold in my Georgetown house?
No, and Texas is why. Quick Dry Restoration does the remediation. Sampling, the written protocol and the clearance on any job of 25 contiguous square feet or more belong to an independent licensed mold assessment consultant, and the state keeps the two roles separate on the same project. What we give you first is a free on-site evaluation with moisture readings and a written estimate.
