Pflugerville was a German farm village of a few hundred people when it incorporated in 1965, and it was still under 5,000 people in 1990. By 2020 the census counted 65,191, most of them in slab-built subdivisions that spread east from I-35 toward SH 130 and past it. The city straddles the Travis and Williamson county line at about 686 feet, with Gilleland Creek cutting through the middle of town and Lake Pflugerville, the 180-acre reservoir finished in 2006, on the east side.
Everything here sits on Blackland clay that swells in a wet spring and shrinks through August, and the supply lines cast into those slabs move with it. In March 2026 the 30-inch raw-water line that fills the lake broke for the fourth time in six months and the city went to Stage 3 water restrictions, a reminder of how much plumbing sits under and around this town.
We put Pflugerville homeowners on the phone with an independent local water damage provider. Nothing goes on paper until the provider has metered the house.
A 1980s Windermere house with a warm spot on the tile is a slab leak detection call, because the copper under that floor is forty years old. A 2005 Falcon Pointe two-story with a brown ring under the attic is water heater leak cleanup work. Any house with an attic line that split in the February 2021 or January 2024 freeze is burst pipe water damage, and the walls below the break get metered along with the ceiling.
Rebuild work that replaces plumbing, drywall, or wiring inside the city goes through Pflugerville Building Inspections and Permits, and the provider pulls it when the job needs one. Most of the city, and a good share of Hutto and northeast Austin, sits inside Pflugerville ISD, whose five high schools are a fair map of how far the subdivisions now reach.
Ring (512) 855-6202 and say which room is wet. An independent local water damage provider serving Pflugerville takes the call from there.
Water pumped and vacuumed off slab floors, tile, and carpet in a Pflugerville house, then every room metered to see how far it traveled.
