Heatherwilde is the 1990s corridor of subdivisions along Heatherwilde Boulevard between Pecan Street and Wells Branch Parkway on the west side of Pflugerville, the first big wave of growth after Austin reached the town. The houses are one- and two-story slab homes from the production builders of that decade, with copper under the floor in the early sections and PEX in the later ones, and an attic water heater in most of the two-stories.
Thirty years on, these houses are at the age when the second water heater fails and the copper under the slab starts to weep, and the Blackland clay beneath them has had three decades to move.
Heatherwilde homeowners who call this line reach an independent local water damage provider. Nothing goes on paper until the provider has metered the house.
A warm patch on the entry tile in a 1993 house is a slab leak detection call, and the crew will ask whether the house has been repiped. A brown ring under the attic in a 1998 two-story is water heater leak cleanup work. An attic line that split in the February 2021 freeze is burst pipe water damage, and the walls below the break get metered too.
Heatherwilde Boulevard runs along a low ridge, and the streets that drop off it toward Gilleland Creek on the east are the ones that see water in the yard when a storm stalls over the west side of town. Everything here is inside the city, and rebuild permits go through Pflugerville's building inspections desk.
