Where Lone Star Water Restoration works

The home base on the FM 1854 corridor in the Plum Creek watershed. The slab-on-grade homes out here take flash-flood sheet water and freeze-burst supply lines, the exact losses the local crews are built for.

The Caldwell County seat, about seven miles southwest, where Plum Creek runs past the historic courthouse square. Older homes near downtown flood fast when the creek tops its banks and the storm drains back up.

A fast-growing Hays County city on I-35 with block after block of newer slab-on-grade subdivisions. Freeze bursts from cold snaps like Winter Storm Uri and attic supply-line failures are the calls that come in most here.

Set along I-35 and Onion Creek, Buda mixes new construction with older homes near the floodplain. A single Flash Flood Alley storm can push creek water across a ground floor in under an hour.

On the spring-fed San Marcos River and downstream of the Blanco, San Marcos floods hard, as the 2015 Memorial Day flood showed. The crews work riverfront homes and student rentals across the city.

An oil-heritage town on the San Marcos River in south Caldwell County. Its older housing stock takes storm and roof-leak water, and the river drives the flood risk downstream of Lockhart.

A small town wrapped around a bend of the San Marcos River between San Marcos and Luling. When the river rises, the low-lying homes and the historic core see the water first.

The southeast-Austin corridor, where Onion Creek has a long flood history through the 2013 and 2015 floods. Newer and older homes alike here need fast extraction when the creek comes up.
