Local expertise with expanded resources.

We have the experience to keep your site running smoothly around the clock.

Our story

Allstate Dewatering has kept Houston sites dry since 1998. This includes critical municipal work, such as the groundwater-control repair at the Easthaven Wastewater Treatment Plant.

In 2026, Tri-State Civil Construction acquired our Houston operations, bringing expanded resources to our yard. Today, we leverage our deep local experience and these new capabilities to design and operate wellpoints, deep wells, and bypass systems for projects of all sizes.

Leadership

Sean Xu is a licensed professional engineer. Before founding Tri-State Civil Construction in 2017, he worked as a project engineer and manager for technical construction projects in the New York metro area.

In 2026, the U.S. Small Business Administration named Sean Xu the New Jersey Small Business Person of the Year. At the White House, he joined fellow honorees to meet with President Donald Trump and SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.

Permitting

Texas construction sites require strict compliance with TCEQ rules, applicable local groundwater district rules, and municipal discharge guidelines. We take this burden off your team so your crew can stay focused on excavation rather than paperwork.

We manage the entire process—from initial sampling and permitting strategy to agency follow-up and closeout reporting. This gives you a single point of contact, fewer project delays, and a tailored discharge plan that guarantees compliance.
