Andice is a crossroads community at FM 970 and FM 2338 in the northwest corner of Williamson County, about five miles southwest of Florence and twenty minutes north of Leander. Joshua Stapp settled it in 1857 and built a log building that served as school and church, and the name came from a postal clerk's misreading of "Audice" on the 1899 post office application. The population peaked around 200 in 1931, fell to 25 by 1970, and was counted at about 300 in 2009 as ranchettes and small subdivisions filled the pastures along 2338.
There is no city here. The houses are 1970s to 1990s ranch homes on slabs, manufactured homes on acreage, and 2010s custom builds on one- to five-acre lots, nearly all on private wells and septic. Berry Creek and the branches of the South San Gabriel drain the area, and the low-water crossings on 2338 and 970 go under in a Hill Country storm.
Your call reaches an independent local water damage provider serving Andice by phone. The provider walks the house and the well house before writing anything.
A pressure tank fitting in a well house that let go and ran into the garage is a water extraction job, and the crew asks you to kill the pump breaker first. A ranch house on a slab with a warm floor and a well pump that never stops is a leak detection call. A creek-bottom lot that took runoff in a stalled storm is flash flood cleanup.
Because Andice is unincorporated, repair permits and floodplain review go through Williamson County, and fire protection comes from one of the Williamson County emergency services districts rather than a city department. The Texas State Historical Association's entry on Andice traces the community from Stapp's log school to the general store that still anchors the crossroads.

Standing water pulled off the slab, the upstairs subfloor, and the garage in a Leander two-story, with meter readings taken before anything is cut.
Dehumidifiers and air movers sized for a humid Hill Country summer, run until the drywall, the stair treads, and the cabinets read dry.
A high Leander water bill, a warm tile, or a soft wall traced to a PEX fitting, a slab line, or a manifold before anyone opens the floor.
Ceilings, walls, and floors soaked when an attic or exterior wall line split in a freeze, pumped out and dried once the valve is closed.
Creek water and street runoff pulled out of a garage or ground floor, contaminated materials removed, and the house dried afterward.
An attic or garage tank that let go, and the ceiling, insulation, closet, and flooring it soaked on the way down, dried and opened only where wet.
A stain or sag under an upstairs bath, an attic air handler, or a drain pan, metered from above before the drywall comes down.
Wet insulation, ceilings, and walls dried out after Hill Country hail or a stalled spring storm found a gap in the shingles or flashing.
