Frequently asked questions
The creek is not in the yard. Why does it still wet a short basement in May?
It holds the outlet. Midlothian Creek is the mouth of the storm sewers, and when May has the ditch high the pipes cannot discharge, so they fill backward into window wells. You will not see creek water. You will see a well that will not empty. The channel two streets over is still the reason.
The house has only a short basement. Is that safer than a full one?
It is a smaller hole in the same till. May rain still perches against the buried wall, and the window wells on these 1987 houses are often the first place that perched water shows. A short basement just means less wall to wet, not a different soil. The wells and the sewer surcharge are the job either way.
We had the window well covered. Why does it still fill?
A cover stops rain from the sky, not water from the pipe. If the well's drain ties into a surcharged sewer, May fills it from below. The cover then just hides a full bucket. The drain path to a working outlet, or a disconnected well that cannot backflow, is the repair.
