Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Arlington, TX
Basement seepage, failed sumps, and hydrostatic pressure against the foundation are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is identified so the loss does not repeat. Groundwater and basement seepage are extracted and dried only after the path from the soil is identified — a wall, a slab, a drain, or a failed sump. Drying the interior without stopping that path returns the same water to the same floor.
Frequently asked questions
It has barely rained here and the creek is high.
The catchment above this city is largely built out and it is not in this city. Rain falling miles upstream reaches a channel straightened along its length, so it arrives faster and higher than it would have when that ground was pasture. What the sky is doing overhead is a poor guide; the gauge upstream gives the actual warning.
The city has no river of its own and it still floods.
It does, because the hazard here is creeks rather than a river: small channels draining a fully built catchment that rise within the hour and fall just as fast. There is no gauge upstream giving warning and no crest to track. Anything that is going to be done has to have been done beforehand.
The entertainment district is an enormous continuous paved area.
It is, and that much sealed surface sheds essentially everything that falls on it into a handful of channels within minutes. It is not a fault anyone can be asked to remedy; it is the shape of the place. What it means for a property downstream is that the creek responds to the whole of that surface at once.
