Cleveland Homeowner Yard Flooded News

Foundation Problems,Flood Water Sinking Home,Cleveland ISD

A Cleveland homeowner says when the school district cleared the forest behind his home for a new campus, it changed the neighborhood's water flow and caused his yard to flood during storms.

But, the Cleveland Independent School District bought the land behind his home and in 2020 began construction of a new elementary school, which included removing hundreds of trees.

Cleveland ISD Spokesman Matt Bieniek said the district's population has grown over the last 10 years and in order to accommodate that they've approved bonds for the construction of new campuses. "He did confirm that the tree line was removed," Bieniek said. "The previous superintendent had ordered the removal of that tree line, so they did it and after that was when the board was made aware of the water flow issues happening into the residence."

Now, Slataper said he's working on filing a new claim with Cleveland ISD, including getting updated estimates from contractors.
