Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Cedar Park, 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
The creek was dry this morning and dangerous by afternoon. Is that unusual?
Not here. This part of the escarpment produces among the fastest runoff responses in the country, because thin soil over fractured rock absorbs very little and the slopes are steep. A creek can go from dry bed to serious flow in well under an hour. The practical consequences are about timing rather than about rainfall totals, which is why local warnings emphasize not attempting crossings rather than describing how much rain fell.
Our house is new and the lot drains properly. Are we safe?
Lot drainage and watershed exposure are separate questions and only one of them is under your control. Modern subdivision grading handles what falls on your property competently. It has no effect on water arriving from a drainage upstream, which on this terrain can be a large volume moving quickly. Knowing where your property sits relative to a creek or a drainage way matters more than the age or quality of the construction.
What should be done first if water enters the house here?
Establish that the flow has stopped before starting anything. Runoff on this terrain comes and goes quickly, and a second cell over the same watershed can send another rise through while equipment is being set up. Once the flow has passed, extraction should start immediately, because water that came off the ground is not clean and the affected materials degrade quickly. Documentation before cleanup takes ten minutes and is difficult to reconstruct afterward.
