Frequently asked questions
The houses are from 2006. How is Fourmile Creek still in the basement conversation?
The houses are new. The creek is not. Fourmile already had a floodplain when the farm was platted, and a 2006 pad on that swale still takes June. Newness meant a sump and a code crawl space. It did not move the creek. Age of the roof is not elevation above Fourmile.
The sump runs hard in a storm that should not fill it. Why?
It is receiving farm tile. Leftover field drains still run under this grade and surcharge into new sumps when a June cell exceeds what the old system was sized for. The sump is taking a catchment nobody mapped.
The builder graded away from the house. Why is the well full after June?
Because 2006 grading is still settling, and because the tile under the former field can surcharge into the well from below. Surface slope can look right and the water still arrive through the pit. The grade is the yard. The tile is the farm. June tests both.
