Spring Branch's Older Drainage Infrastructure and What It Means for Your Pool

Why older Spring Branch lots need an extra look at existing drainage before a pool goes in.

Infrastructure Built for a Different Era

Spring Branch's older storm drainage, much of it from the 1950s-60s, wasn't sized for today's larger impervious backyard footprints, so grading around a new pool is planned with extra attention to where runoff actually goes once it leaves the property.

A Practical Fix, Not a Guess

A site evaluation on an older Spring Branch lot typically includes a walk of existing drainage patterns during or right after rain, which is a more reliable way to plan grading than assuming based on lot grade alone.
