Visual inspection of stormwater facilities that catches sediment buildup, erosion, blockages, overgrowth and structural damage before they become problems.
Stormwater system inspection in New Braunfels has to account for the Hill Country edge the city sits on. Rocky terrain sheds water fast toward the Guadalupe and Comal, and detention basins around Gruene, Vintage Oaks and River Chase take the force of that runoff every time a front moves through. A facility built to handle average storms can fall behind quickly once sediment or debris starts narrowing its capacity.
The ground here tells on itself once you know what to look for. Thin caliche soils and riverfront sand do not hold a slope the way clay does, so bare embankments erode in sheets after a hard rain instead of wearing down slowly. We see forebays silted in from the first big flow off newer Vintage Oaks construction, outlet structures packed with cedar needles and gravel washed down from Hill Country lots, and volunteer trees working their roots into pond banks near older Gruene-area developments. Slow drawdown after a storm is usually the first sign something downstream is blocked.
Call for a free on-site estimate and we will usually get someone out within 48 hours to walk the facility with you. We inspect the basin, slopes, structures and outfall, note what is actually causing the problem instead of guessing, and hand you written findings and recommendations you can act on or pass to your property engineer. No pressure to sign anything on the spot.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your New Braunfels property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and stormwater system inspection that holds up to Comal County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
You call or request a visit, and we schedule a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours. We walk the full facility with you or your designated contact, look at the basin, slopes, structures and outfall, and talk through what we are seeing before any work is scheduled. There is no obligation to move forward after the walk.
Most HOA and commercial facilities here benefit from a visual inspection at least once a year, with an extra check after any major storm event given how fast runoff moves off Hill Country terrain. New Vintage Oaks construction nearby, a dam embankment inspection, or a developer handoff to an association are all common triggers for scheduling one sooner.
We schedule the walk around your property's traffic patterns and confirm timing with your manager or board contact ahead of time. Inspection work is mostly on foot through the basin and around structures, so it rarely blocks parking or disrupts residents, and we coordinate with on-site staff if access to a gated area or easement is needed.
Rocky Hill Country soil erodes in sheets rather than wearing evenly, and riverfront sand near Gruene shifts after heavy flow, so slopes and outfalls here need closer attention than in flatter clay-soil areas. We check for bare embankments, silted forebays and outlet blockages specifically because those are the failure points this ground and rainfall pattern tend to produce.
Size and number of facilities on the property are the biggest factors, followed by access, such as whether a basin sits behind locked gates or across difficult Hill Country terrain. A straightforward single-pond walk costs less than a multi-structure system across a larger Vintage Oaks or River Chase development. We give you the actual number after the on-site walk, not before.
