Water Damage Restoration in Sandy Creek, TX
Sandy Creek is the unincorporated neighborhood in northwest Travis County that carries a Leander address, tucked into the juniper and live oak hills along Big Sandy Creek between Nameless Road and Round Mountain Road on the way down to Lake Travis. The roads are narrow and winding, the lots are large, and the housing is a mix of 1970s and 1980s ranch homes, manufactured homes, and 2000s custom builds, most on wells and septic and many built close to the creek that is dry most of the year.
On the night of July 4 into July 5, 2025, more than a foot of rain fell on the hills above the neighborhood and Big Sandy Creek rose fifteen feet in three hours. Nearly 200 homes were damaged or destroyed, 71 of them mobile homes and 127 single-family houses, two bridges were damaged, and nine people in the neighborhood died. Travis County hauled out more than 46,000 cubic yards of debris in the weeks after. A year later most of the lost homes had not been rebuilt.

Sandy Creek water damage, before and after the creek
A house that took creek water is flash flood cleanup, handled as contaminated water, with the drywall, insulation, and cabinets below the line removed and the slab or subfloor cleaned before drying. A ranch home on the ridge with a split attic line after a freeze is burst pipe water damage. A roof that lost shingles in the same storm is roof leak water damage.
The county that issues the permit and the park at the bottom of the road
Sandy Creek sits outside any city, so repair permits, floodplain review, and debris pickup all run through Travis County, which now requires a floodplain permit for rebuilding along the creek. The creek reaches Lake Travis at Sandy Creek Park on Lime Creek Road, 92 acres of quiet cove that gives a fair picture of how much water the drainage can move when it does.
