Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Flower Mound, 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 lake came up and the forecast said nothing.
Reservoir levels answer to rain across a whole catchment and to release decisions made for the system as a whole, so they change for reasons that are not visible from the shore. Both lakes publish their levels and their planned releases. For anything close to the water, those figures are the ones to use rather than the local forecast, and they are available well before anything happens.
The soil is completely different at each end of the lot.
On rolling ground here that is common: clay collects in the low parts and the rises have thin soil over rock. A drain laid across both behaves differently along its length, and a foundation spanning the boundary moves unevenly. It is worth knowing before doing any work rather than discovering it partway through a trench. A couple of test holes answer it.
All of this was built at once. Does that help or hurt?
Both, and it is worth separating them. The drainage was laid out as one system rather than accumulated street by street, which makes it more coherent than most and easier to understand. The other side is that every component of it, along with every water heater and supply line in the houses, reaches the end of its life within the same few years. Uniformity is an advantage until the schedule catches up.
