Jollyville takes its name from John Grey Jolly, who bought 160 acres here in 1866 and ran a store and a blacksmith shop with his wife Nancy on what was then the road from Austin to the hills. Only twenty families lived in the area in 1960. Then Austin grew north, and the subdivisions along Jollyville Road and US 183 filled in through the 1970s and 1980s. The census counted 15,206 people in 1990 and 16,151 in 2010 on about six square miles that straddle the Travis and Williamson county line, most of it inside the Austin city limits and all of it in the 78729 ZIP code.
At 869 feet, Jollyville sits on the limestone of the escarpment between Round Rock and Cedar Park, and the housing is largely 1970s and 1980s ranch-style homes on slabs with the original copper plumbing. Tributaries of Brushy Creek and Walnut Creek start here and drop fast toward the lower ground.
This site routes Jollyville homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the house before anything is written.
A slab poured in 1978 with copper under it is at the age where pinholes appear, and a warm hallway floor is a leak detection call before anyone breaks tile. A water heater in the garage that let go across the slab is water heater leak cleanup work. Once the standing water is gone, structural drying is what gets the drywall and the cabinets back to dry, and in a closed-up 1970s house that takes dehumidifiers.
Jollyville sits partly in Williamson County and partly in Travis, and most of it is inside the Austin city limits, so the permit for a rebuild depends on which side of the line the house sits. Tell the crew your address and they will know which office issues it. Water for most of the area comes from the City of Austin, which can shut a meter at the curb if the house valve will not turn.
Call (512) 562-9101 and tell us what you found. We route the call to a local water damage provider serving Jollyville.
