Austin waterfront properties on Lake Travis and Lake Austin sometimes require demolition of outdated, damaged, or unsafe structures before new construction can begin. The limestone bedrock and rocky substrate in the Austin area and the effects of LCRA-managed water levels and seasonal draw-down determine how each demolition project must be approached to avoid damage to the shoreline and adjacent properties.
