Frequently asked questions
This is not Richmond, Virginia. Does the river story differ?
Yes. The Virginia city sits on the Fall Line of the James, granite west and tidal east. This is a Whitewater gorge through Indiana till, 1957 National Road stock, a June peak. Copying a Shockoe Bottom playbook would miss the gorge cut and the till plain.
The river dropped. Why is the uphill wall still wet?
That wall is holding the gorge, not the channel. June rain entered the till and shale above the house and is still moving downslope. The East Fork sets the flood question on the lowest streets; the cut sets the seepage question. They are not the same job.
Is a house on the till plain a gorge problem?
No. Till-plain basements seep from perched June water with the gorge irrelevant. Gorge houses fail at the buried uphill face. One storm, two mechanisms. The 1957 median averages them.
