Frequently asked questions
This is not Columbus, Ohio. Does that change the water story?
Yes. The Ohio city is a Scioto-Olentangy basin with a huge 1980 median grid. This is a Bartholomew County town on the East Fork of the White, outwash and till, June 5.31 inches. Copying a capital-city playbook about two downtown rivers would miss the terrace and the outwash.
The river stayed in its banks. Why is the terrace crawlspace wet?
Stage, not overbank. June rain raises the East Fork enough that terrace outfalls cannot drop. Water then sits in the sand under the ranch. A dry bank and a wet crawlspace is a normal pair on those streets. The hill lots are perched till, a different entry.
Is outwash sand a blessing for drainage?
It drains — into the river, and sideways under the pad. A plumbing leak can travel a lot without darkening the lawn. When the East Fork is high, that same sand cannot empty. Sand is a path, not a guarantee of a dry house.
