Block House Creek is the 2,200-home neighborhood on the Leander side of the Cedar Park line, west of US 183 along the creek named for the log block house that Texas Rangers under Captain John Tumlinson built in 1836 as the first post in what became Williamson County. Building ran from 1983 into the early 2010s, which makes it the oldest large subdivision in Leander, with traditional three- and four-bedroom homes averaging about 1,800 square feet and more than 100 acres of greenspace, a pool, tennis courts, and trails along the creek.
The 1980s and 1990s sections have copper under the slab, galvanized fittings at the hose bibs, and the first generation of attic air handlers. The 2000s sections have PEX and attic water heaters. The creek runs through the middle and rises fast in a stalled storm, and the greenbelt lots along it are the ones that get wet.
Your call reaches an independent local water damage provider serving Block House Creek by phone. The provider figures out which decade the house is from before deciding where to look.
A warm tile and a doubled bill in a 1988 house is a leak detection call with slab copper as the likely answer. A hose bib on a north wall that split in the 2021 freeze and ran inside the wall is burst pipe water damage. A greenbelt lot that took creek water is flash flood cleanup.
The greenbelt here connects to the parks the city lists on Visit Leander, and the trail is the first thing under water when the creek comes up. The Block House Creek HOA has rules on contractor parking that the management company can clear ahead of the truck.
