When to call, and what to do first

For the problems Georgetown homeowners call about most, and why they come up here:

• Water Softener Installation

  Why it comes up in Georgetown: Limestone-country water is hard and leaves scale.

  Signs:

  White scale that clogs aerators and showerheads, spotty glasses, a noisy water heater

  Urgent when:

  Rarely urgent; scale builds slowly

  Before help arrives:

  Check your water hardness in the utility's water quality report

  Repair or replace:

  Hard water damaging heaters or fixtures: a softener protects them

• Slab Leak Repair

  Why it comes up in Georgetown: Clay and limestone soils move slab foundations.

  Signs:

  Warm floor spots, sound of running water, a spinning meter

  Urgent when:

  Water surfacing through the floor or a large bill jump

  Before help arrives:

  Close the main shutoff if water is visible

  Repair or replace:

  One leak: spot repair. Repeated leaks: reroute the lines

  Signs:

  Water around the tank base, rusty hot water, a tank past 10 years

  Urgent when:

  The tank itself is leaking

  Before help arrives:

  Turn off gas or power and close the cold-water valve

  Repair or replace:

  Leaking tank: replace. Failed part on a younger tank: repair

Why Georgetown homes need these repairs

Georgetown is a fast-growing Williamson County city north of Austin, known for its historic Victorian square and large retirement communities like Sun City. Its water comes mostly from Brazos River Authority lakes, plus some Edwards Aquifer groundwater and purchased supplies. Limestone soils, hard water, summer drought and occasional hard freezes drive most of the slab leak, softener, water heater and frozen pipe calls across the city.
