Frequently asked questions
What is loess, and why does it fail in a storm?
Wind-deposited silt that stands in tall cuts when dry and pipes when wet. Water finds a path through it, enlarges that path, and the face collapses into the ravine. A June storm can take a strip of yard overnight. The house does not have to slide; the ground next to it can simply disappear.
The house is on the terrace, not the bluff. Why did the storm still fill the basement?
The bluff is the catchment. Ravines deliver that water to the terrace in a pulse, and a 1966 basement is a hole waiting for it. Rain on your own roof is the smaller share. The larger share is everyone above you.
Can a downspout on the bluff-top make the ravine worse?
Easily. Concentrated roof water is how piping starts. Spreading that discharge, or carrying it to a stable outlet, is more useful than a larger gutter. A downspout aimed at the ravine edge is a cutting tool.
