Frequently asked questions
The neighbor's yard drains into ours. Was it built that way?
Effectively, yes. The 1996 pads follow former fencerows, so runoff is routed along old field lines and ends up in the next basement down the row. The grading is doing what it was laid out to do; the fencerow is simply no longer there to show it.
The house is not on the White River. Why would that drainage still wet a basement?
The river sets the outlet for the draws. When it is high, a 1996 basement in a former fencerow is the new low point. You do not need a downtown flood to feel the basin. A basement toward Whiteland in a former fencerow is the unused capacity when the White is high, downtown flood or not.
A 1996 swale behind the house has no fall by June. What closed it?
Johnson County clay sloughs back into the ditch that was cut through it. White River drainage then has no unused room, and a basement in a former fencerow is the overflow. Re-cutting without moving the downspouts just fills the same bowl the next June. The tile can still be clear while the swale itself is the plug.
