A lot of the Hill Country runs on private wells, from Paleface Ranch and the Spicewood side out to the Lago Vista bench. That means a pressure tank, a well pump, and often a softener sitting in a garage, a closet, or a separate well house, all fed by poly or PEX supply lines. When one of them fails, the pump keeps cycling and the water keeps running, sometimes for hours before anyone notices the puddle spreading under the equipment. Texas Dry Home cleans it up and dries what it soaked.
How we handle well and water system leaks in Spicewood
Call and dispatch
A real person answers 24/7 and the nearest Spicewood crew rolls with pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
We find the source and the full reach of the water, including what soaked into the slab, subfloor, and wall cavities.
Extract and dry
We pull the standing water, then run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry standard, not just the surface.
Verify and bill
We log moisture readings until the structure is dry, then document the loss and bill your carrier directly.
Where well and water-system leaks start
The equipment that keeps a well home in water is also what floods it when a part gives out:
- A pressure tank bladder that fails and weeps at the base or the fitting
- A water softener that sticks in regeneration and overflows its brine tank
- Poly or PEX supply lines and barbed fittings that split or work loose over time
- A stuck float or a failed pump control that keeps the system running with nowhere for the water to go
If your water comes from a well, the EPA private well guidance and the TCEQ cover maintaining the system that, kept in good shape, leaks far less often.
Our well and water system cleanup in Spicewood
We confirm the water is shut off at the well or the pressure tank and the power to the pump is safe, then extract the standing water. A slow well leak often soaks a garage wall, a closet subfloor, or the base of the well-house structure before it is caught, so we map the moisture with meters and dry the framing and finishes, not just the puddle. Our structural drying crews monitor the readings, and our water extraction gear clears anything pooled in a lower area.
Well equipment leaking and the pump keeps cycling? Shut it down and call, and a crew is on the way in 45 to 75 minutes.
☎ Call (737) 530-9201Know your well shutoff and add a leak alarm
Find the shutoff at the pressure tank and the breaker for the well pump, and make sure you can reach both fast. A simple water alarm on the floor near the pressure tank and softener warns you the moment a leak starts, instead of hours later when it has spread through the wall.
Well water and what a leak leaves behind
Well water is usually clean Category 1 water, but Hill Country well water is often hard and high in minerals and iron, so a long leak can leave staining as well as saturation. Softener overflows add salty brine that has to be flushed and cleaned. We treat the water by its category, disinfect where needed, and dry the structure fully so a hidden leak behind a garage wall does not turn into a mold problem. If the leak came from the tank that heats the water rather than the well system, that is water heater failure.
Documentation and your claim
A sudden failure of well equipment or a supply line is generally covered by a homeowner policy, while gradual seepage that was ignored may not be. We document the loss with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope, then bill your carrier directly for covered work.
"Our pressure tank let go in the well house closet and it ran most of the night before we caught it. They pumped it out, dried the closet and the garage wall it had soaked into, and checked for anything hidden. They knew exactly how a well setup floods a house."

Spicewood water damage questions, answered
My well equipment is leaking, what do I do?
Shut off the water at the pressure tank or the well head, turn off the breaker to the well pump so it stops cycling, and keep clear of water near electrical. Then call (737) 530-9201 and a crew comes to extract the water and dry the garage, closet, or well house it reached.
What usually causes a well system leak?
The most common sources are a failed pressure tank bladder, a softener that overflows during regeneration, and split poly or PEX supply lines or loose fittings. A stuck float or a failed pump control can also keep the system running until it floods the space around the equipment.
Is well water damage dangerous?
Well water is usually clean Category 1 water, but Hill Country well water is often hard and high in iron, so a long leak can stain as well as soak, and a softener overflow adds salty brine. We treat the water by its category, disinfect where needed, and dry everything fully.
Do you repair the well equipment too?
We handle the water cleanup and drying and coordinate a well or plumbing contractor for the equipment repair while we keep the area dry. That way the tank or pump replacement and the drying move together rather than on separate visits.
How fast can you respond out in the country?
We answer live 24/7 and reach most of the Lake Travis Hill Country, including the rural well areas around Spicewood and Lago Vista, in 45 to 75 minutes. Call and we confirm a time before a crew rolls, even to the outlying roads.
Does insurance cover a well system leak?
A sudden failure of well equipment or a supply line is generally covered by a standard homeowner policy, while slow seepage that was left unaddressed may not be. We document the loss and the source and bill your carrier directly for the covered work.
