Frequently asked questions
There is a Carbondale in Pennsylvania. Is this the same coal-cellar problem?
No, and the rock is the reason. The Pennsylvania town sits on anthracite; this one sits on Illinois Basin measures, with Crab Orchard and the Big Muddy. A wet cellar here is a Midwestern void and an SIU-side terrace. Beyond the name, very little about the two is alike.
The woods took the rain. Why is the Makanda-side basement still wet?
The woods are a roof over coal measures. April rain that disappears into Crab Orchard is not gone; it is in the bed. A house cut into that bed is in the path. The stain is underground flow, and the dry canopy is not a dry cellar.
Does the campus change how a hillside house takes April water?
It can. The bowl concentrates roofs and parking onto a few outlets toward the Big Muddy. A house on that grade takes campus runoff plus measure seepage. Treating it as a quiet woods lot misses the paved catchment SIU added on top of the coal.
