The climate in Texas is changing due to global warming and rising trends in greenhouse gas emissions.[1] As of 2016, most area of Texas had already warmed by 1.5 °F (0.83 °C) since the previous century because of greenhouse gas emissions by the United States and other countries.[1] Texas is expected to experience a wide range of environmental impacts from climate change in the United States, including rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and increasing pressure on water resources.[1]

The first year we were in this house 11 years ago we got 5 inches of water in two days. It's obvious that there were historic issues because there is a pump with a drain system around the perimeter of the basement. In one part of the basement there were three spots with streams of water coming in. It looked like people were pissing into the basement. Even with the pump, we had a few inches of water in the basement. I believe that was hurricane Irene.
I have planted ground cover around the foundation in that spot, and we've never had that problem again. I also found a leader that was pouring water around the base of the foundation, because the drain pipe leading away from the house came off. Proper gutters/leaders help a lot, but 10 freekin inches of water is crazy.

Funny how I never said anything to you in that thread, good or bad. I do remember a couple other threads in here, about rescue dogs, where we were both polite, courteous, even friendly..............we both love dogs..............
I'm sorry you forgot about those and chose to post not nice things to me.
WOKE Texas Trib desperately trying to pin current flooding in Dallas on Global Warming:

the crack itself is about 3 feet long from top to bottom. maybe about 1/16th at it's widest point and that part is leaking water. It hasn't been there long enough to wash out alot of ground behind it, I wouldn't think so anyway. you can bet I'll be putting soaker hoses around the house after this week.

I posted truth
This is the result of you refusing cold hard facts
You should have considered a property that was not as vulnerable to flooding
Now you know why these lies the Republican Party feeds you are so bad
Civilization runs on trust...For instance trusting that those who build homes have done the drainage correctly. We cant all be experts on everything and there are only so many hours in a day.
You are once again out of line here.

His weather has been crazy
That is due to global warming which you deny exists
Bad information in means bad decisions out
You can’t buy property correctly if you believe lies
Lies are bad

Trust is falling because you people deregulate corporations
Want trustable industries?
Properly tax and regulate them

This is a great place to remember how California will not lift a finger to competently manage the forests, and then when they burn scream "GLOBAL WARMING" as justification for even more tyrannical government.
Was this house built correctly?
Let's start there.

He bought a product
It failed
Due to extreme weather conditions and bad planning by the creator of that product
Both him and that corporation should have done a better job of understanding the conditions the product would be exposed to
They both just pretended this product would without a doubt be exposed to these extreme conditions

The irony is that 57 percent of California’s 33 million acres of forest are controlled by the federal government. And even the timber industry, which Trump’s team appears to be trying to support, has slammed the U.S. for investing far too little in the priceless wild space.

Unfortunately, draining the pool is a pain, and filling it gets expensive. Sounds like it's a fairly easy fix, but I wonder why it happened in the first place...and if it will be a chronic problem?
Maybe a liner is the answer.
