Belterra is the master-planned community along U.S. 290 on the Hays County side of the Austin line, a few miles east of Dripping Springs. Building started in 2002 on rolling limestone ridges with long views, and the neighborhood has grown to well over a thousand homes, most of them two-story slab houses from national builders, with a resort pool, trails, and an HOA that keeps the exteriors uniform. Water comes through a district system, not wells.
The ground is Hill Country limestone, so the slabs move little, but the houses are built on the Texas pattern with the water heater in the attic and the lines running through unconditioned space. The first phases are now past twenty years, and the original tank heaters have mostly been replaced once already. Spring hail storms track along the 290 corridor.
This site passes Belterra homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider reads the house with a meter before a word of scope goes on paper.
A hail-cracked roof that leaked at the next heavy rain is roof leak water damage once the tarp is on, and the attic insulation under it comes out. An attic line that split in February 2021 is burst pipe water damage, with every wall below the break metered. An attic drain pan that overflowed over a bedroom is water heater leak cleanup.
The Belterra association has standards on dumpsters, exterior work, and contractor hours, so ask the crew what they need on site and clear it before the truck arrives. The community is in Dripping Springs ISD, which is the detail most families here moved for.
