Frequently asked questions
The house is from the 1970s. Why is the basement floor moving now?
The claystone has been moving the whole time. A 1976 walkout has been through fifty wet-dry cycles, and the original tile around it has likely silted shut, so each May soaking now stays against the wall instead of leaving. Newer houses on this bench were built with a void under the floor; these were poured on the soil. Age is not a surprise; the drain failure is.
We cannot see the reservoir from the house. Does Chatfield still matter?
It holds the water table on this side of the hogback. A walkout that was sold as upland can still sit close enough to that table that a wet May lifts seepage into the lower wall without a drop of overbank flow. The view is not the test. The elevation of the lower floor relative to the reservoir is.
Is May snowmelt or rain the wet season here?
Both, stacked. Upslope storms in May rain on ground that may still be taking melt off the hogback, and a two-day soaking is what the claystone drinks. A fast summer thunderstorm mostly runs off. The month that moves a 1970s wall is the slow one.
