Frequently asked questions
The pothole was filled before the house was built. Why does May still find it?
Fill over a pothole is still a bowl. Clay under that fill does not drain, so May's 4.76 inches reconstitutes the wetland in the backyard. A 1979 basement on the rim of that bowl is a hole in a wetland the plat erased on paper only.
Salt Creek is a mile south. Can it back into my tile?
When the whole farm grid is running, yes. Those tiles were aimed at the creek, and a high creek is a closed door. Water in the tile then has nowhere to go but the basement. Distance to the bank is not the test; stage at the outfall is.
A 1979 ranch. Is the clay or the tile the first failure?
Usually the tile. Clay perches the water; crushed or rooted tile is what lets it into the hole. A camera that finds a sag at the old pothole line is the local pattern, and a new sump without a new run will keep fighting the same bowl.
