Questions, Answered
Onion Creek & Bluff Springs Water Damage Restoration FAQs
What happened during the 2013 Halloween flood here?
The Onion Creek subdivision near IH-35 and William Cannon flooded catastrophically, resulting in multiple deaths and severe property damage, which led the City of Austin to purchase and demolish over 700 homes in this stretch as part of a major buyout program.
Is it safe to live in this area given the flood history?
Many of the highest-risk properties have been removed through the buyout program, but homeowners in the remaining and surrounding areas should take flood risk seriously, including strongly considering flood insurance.
Does standard homeowners insurance cover Onion Creek flooding?
Typically not. Flood water from an outside source like Onion Creek is usually excluded from standard homeowners policies and requires separate flood insurance.
How fast can a crew reach this area during a storm?
Crews familiar with this creek's risk move as quickly as conditions safely allow, though response during a major, widespread storm event can take longer given how many homes may be affected at once.
Has flood mitigation infrastructure improved since 2013?
The city has invested significantly in mitigation and buyouts since the 2013 flood, but the corridor still carries real risk during an intense storm, and homeowners should not assume the risk is fully eliminated.
