Case Study - Water Under Foundation

In Farmers Branch several years ago, at a group of townhomes, whenever it rained, subsurface spring water would rise vertically through cracks in the slab and into the living room of one of the units. Since it always first appeared during a rain event at two specific foundation cracks, we removed a 2’ circle of the foundation concrete at each of those locations and excavated holes that were 3’ deep. At the 2½’ level, we encountered ground water.
