· The Georgetown Problem

Georgetown's Clay Soil Doesn't Drain. We Fix That.

Georgetown sits on expansive clay soil that absorbs water slowly and sheds the rest across the surface. When Central Texas storm season hits — and it does hit hard — that clay holds moisture for days. The result is standing water after rain, soggy lawn areas that never fully dry, water collecting against your foundation, and erosion channels cutting through the yard. It's one of the most common outdoor problems Georgetown homeowners face.

CTX designs and installs drainage systems that intercept water where it collects and route it safely off your property. The right solution depends on where the water comes from, how much of it there is, and where it needs to go. Georgetown's clay soil requires a specific approach — systems designed for sandy or loamy soil don't work here the same way.

We assess the full water flow across your site before recommending any system — because a drain installed in the wrong location doesn't fix the problem, it just moves it.

· What's Included

Every Type of Drainage We Install.

French Drains

Perforated pipe in a gravel trench that intercepts subsurface water and routes it to a safe outlet. The most effective solution for persistently wet areas.

Surface Drains

Catch basins and pop-up emitters that collect surface water at low points and discharge it away from structures and lawn areas.

Channel Drains

Linear slot drains installed across driveways, patios, and hardscape edges that intercept sheet flow before it pools or enters a structure.

Dry Creek Beds

Decorative rock channels that carry water during rain events and look like a natural landscape feature when dry — function and design together.

Downspout Extensions

Buried downspout extensions that carry roof runoff away from the foundation to a safe discharge point in the yard or street.

Grading & Sloping

Re-grading low spots and correcting negative grade near the foundation so water flows away from your home on its own.

· How It Works

Diagnose First. Install Second.

Site Assessment

We walk your property and identify where water enters, collects, and needs to go. We look at grade, soil, existing features, and problem zones.

Water Flow Mapping

We map the water's path across your site to understand the full system — not just the symptom. This determines the right drainage approach.

Design

A drainage plan is prepared showing drain locations, pipe runs, outlet points, and any grading work required. You review and approve before work begins.

Excavation

Trenches are dug to the correct depth and slope, and any existing features — turf, plantings, hardscape — are restored after installation.

Install & Test

Pipe, basins, and outlets are installed. The system is flushed and tested before backfill. Final grading ensures the surface drains toward the system.

Standing water problems are easier to solve than most people expect. Let us walk your property and show you what the fix looks like.

Common signs include standing water that remains 24–48 hours after rain, soggy areas that never fully dry out, water staining or seeping into the garage or crawlspace, erosion channels in the lawn, and soil washing onto hardscape surfaces. In Georgetown's clay soil, these problems are common because the ground simply can't absorb rainwater fast enough — especially during Central Texas storm events. If your Georgetown yard stays wet after rain or water collects in the same spots every time, a drainage system is likely the right fix.
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel surrounding a perforated pipe that runs at a downward slope. Water enters the gravel and pipe from the surrounding soil and flows by gravity to a discharge outlet — a pop-up emitter in the yard, a channel drain, or the street. It's the most effective solution for areas with persistent subsurface saturation.
Yes — but the system must be designed for Georgetown's clay. Clay doesn't absorb water well, so drainage solutions here focus on interception and redirection rather than infiltration. French drains with adequate gravel, surface inlets, and proper outlet locations work effectively even in heavy Georgetown clay. We've installed drainage systems across Georgetown and Williamson County specifically for this soil profile. The key is getting the design right before digging.
Most drainage systems are completely invisible once installed — the pipe is underground and any disturbed turf or landscaping is restored after installation. The exception is a dry creek bed, which is intentionally visible and designed to look like a natural landscape feature. Pop-up emitters are low-profile and sit flush with the ground when not active.
