Frequently asked questions
The lot is nowhere near the lake. Why do Rowlett Creek and the reservoir keep coming up?
Because they set the level the yard drains to. Rowlett Creek runs into Lake Ray Hubbard, and when a May cell arrives on a full reservoir the creek has nowhere to put it, so the lowest plats back up from the channel rather than from the sky. Blackland clay on the rest of the lot cannot absorb its share either. A slab two streets back still depends on that outlet.
There is no basement. Where would a May leak even hide?
Under the slab and in the veneer. A 1978 brick house has no cellar to inspect. Clay movement opens a plumbing joint, the leak wets the assembly from below, and the first sign is often a musty room rather than a puddle. No basement is not no moisture.
The clay is cracked in April. Is that a dry-house sign?
It is a path. Those cracks are how the first May storm finds the footing and how a plumbing joint starts to move. Blackland shrinks in the dry months and swells when the cell hits, so the slab is worked twice — opened, then loaded.
