Frequently asked questions
Which river actually floods a given street?
It depends which side of the confluence you are on, and they do not peak together. The Floyd can wet a street while the Missouri looks calm. A map of the junction is more useful than a single river name. The wet basement does not care which fork did it.
The house is in the Loess Hills, well above the rivers. Still a June problem?
A different June problem. Silt that stands tall when dry pipes when wet, and a 5-inch month is enough to start a void. You are safe from the confluence and not safe from the ground under the footing. Elevation solved the flood and opened the slope.
Can a downspout on the bluff start a failure that looks like a leak?
Yes. Concentrated roof water is how loess pipes. The first sign may be a crack in the yard or a door that sticks, not a puddle in the basement. By the time water shows inside, the silt face may already have lost material.
