Homes around the redeveloped campus along South New Braunfels are a mix of mid-century South Side homes and new post-2010 development, and sewer laterals from that era were built from materials with a known service life. In Brooks City-Base we see clay and cast iron regularly, and both fail in ways a camera makes obvious.
The ground here is deep expansive Blackland clay, and Brooks City-Base homes are a mix of mid-century South Side homes and new post-2010 development. Those two facts together produce slab movement in clay that opens leaks under older foundations — the reason a line that ran fine for thirty years starts backing up twice a season.
We locate and mark depth before any excavation, and we tell you upfront what gets disturbed and what gets restored. Nobody should learn the scope of a sewer dig after it has started.
