Georgetown was laid out in 1848 on land George Washington Glasscock gave for a county seat, and its Victorian courthouse square earned it a Great American Main Street Award in 1997, the first for any Texas city. Southwestern University has been on the east side since 1873. Around that old core, the town has grown faster than almost any city its size in the country, from 67,176 people in 2020 to more than 100,000 by 2024, and Sun City alone holds about 15,700 residents in single-story homes built since 1995.
The North and Middle Forks of the San Gabriel River run through town and meet below the square, and Lake Georgetown, finished in 1979, sits on the North Fork west of I-35. The old neighborhoods near the square sit on pier-and-beam over limestone; everything built since the 1980s sits on a slab.
This site routes Georgetown homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the house and writes the scope from what the meter says.
A century-old house near the square with a pier-and-beam floor holds water under the boards, and water extraction there means checking the crawl space as well as the rooms. A slab home in Sun City or Teravista's Georgetown side with a warm floor is a leak detection job. When the San Gabriel comes up after a Hill Country storm, the low streets near the river need flash flood cleanup.
Georgetown Water Utility draws from Lake Georgetown, Stillhouse Hollow, and Lake Belton and can shut a meter at the curb when the house valve fails. The Williamson Museum on Austin Avenue keeps the county's flood and building history, including the September 1921 storm that dropped nearly 40 inches on the San Gabriel and Brushy Creek watersheds.
