Flood & Foundation Risk Check for Spicewood

Central Texas is Flash Flood Alley, so thin limestone soil sheds hard rain fast into creeks and low-water crossings and can push water into a home in minutes. Slab-on-grade foundations on expansive clay hide slab leaks and seepage, many Hill Country homes run on private wells that can fail unnoticed, and attic AC and water heaters drain into the ceiling or slab when they let go.

Know the low-water crossings around you and never drive them when they run, keep culverts, gutters, and yard drains clear before storm season, grade soil away from the foundation, and move what you can off a lakeside lower level when a big rain is coming. Keep our 24/7 number handy so you can call the moment water gets in.

Watch for a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, a jump in the water bill, or a foundation that suddenly needs watering on one side. Catching it early means we can dry the slab and cabinets in place instead of tearing out a whole kitchen.

If it is safe, shut the water off at the main or the well, stay off the wet floor, keep clear of outlets and the panel, and call us. If it is a septic or sewer backup, do not touch it, it is Category 3 black water. We talk you through the rest while a crew is on the way.
