Serenada is the unincorporated neighborhood on the north edge of Georgetown, west of I-35 and south of the North San Gabriel River, where the addresses say Georgetown but the permits do not. It first appeared as a census-designated place in 2000, and part of it has since been annexed by the city. The census counted 1,641 people in 2010 and 2,098 in 2020 on about two and a half square miles at 820 feet.
The houses are mostly 1970s and 1980s ranch homes on large lots with mature live oaks, on slabs poured over limestone, with a scattering of newer builds on the open lots. Many of them have well water or a rural water district instead of a city meter, and many have a septic system instead of a sewer line, which changes where a leak can go.
This site routes Serenada homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the house before writing the scope.
A 1970s slab with copper under it and a warm spot in the hall is a leak detection job, and finding the line matters more on a large lot where the service run is long. A water heater in the garage that rusted through across the slab is water heater leak cleanup work. A ceiling stain under the attic air handler after a hot summer is a ceiling water damage repair call.
Because most of Serenada is outside the city limits, a rebuild that touches plumbing, framing, or wiring pulls its permit through Williamson County rather than Georgetown. The nearest landmark is Southwestern University, the oldest university in Texas, on the east side of Georgetown since 1873. Tell the crew whether the house is on a well or a district meter so they know where the shutoff is.
