Frequently asked questions
The street has sunk slightly and now our lot ponds. Are those connected?
Yes. Illinois Basin coal voids subside under these blocks and turn a stretch of street into a shallow bowl, so May storms pond in a trough that post-dates the original grade. The grading was right when it was built; the ground moved under it.
This block used to shed May rain. What changed under an Illinois Basin street?
A coal void closed. Belleville's bluff is mined; a street that carried water toward the American Bottom in 2000 can sit as a dish now. May's 5.25 inches then ponds in a trough the original grade never had. The shingles did not fail. The lot is lower than the plat.
Is a house on the bluff edge a different job from one inland over a mine?
Yes. The edge is runoff onto the next lot and a buried downhill wall. Inland is a trough over a void. One is grade; the other is subsidence. They are not one repair.
