Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Lewisville, 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 upstream should absorb any flood.
It absorbs timing rather than volume. Storage buys hours or days, and when the pool is already high after a wet spring the inflow has to be passed downstream whether or not that is convenient. Being below a large reservoir makes the river predictable and does not make it small.
The river was high on a day with no rain.
That will be a release rather than the weather. Levels below the dam are set by operating decisions responding to the pool level and the forecast, so the river can rise on a clear day and fall during a storm. The operating information is published and it explains far more than looking at the sky.
Doors stick in some months and not others.
That is the clay moving. It expands as it takes on water and contracts hard in a dry spell, and anything founded on it rises and falls through the year. For water purposes the same movement opens gaps around buried drain lines, so a seasonal sticking door and an intermittent drainage fault often share one cause.
