TESTIMONIALS
After wasting thousands of dollars on engineers and expensive testing without receiving a definitive answer, Scott Lockhart stepped in and completed the necessary excavation to correctly diagnose what was causing our house slab saturation.
He used his 40 years of experience in the Austin area dealing with drainage issues to quickly formulate a plan to remediate existing damage and prevent any further intrusion of water. He and his crew worked tirelessly and methodically to make us whole again. I highly recommend Mr. Lockhart for his thoroughness, professionalism, and his results!
