Frequently asked questions
Twenty-five inches a year sounds dry. What actually wets a basement in May?
The Smoky Hill has barely cut a channel in loess, so May's 3.89 inches has no valley to leave by. A basement is then the hole in that perched layer. This is not a 36-inch Iowa packing town and not a 21-inch Dakota prairie river — it is shortgrass loess with a shallow break, and the number that matters is the May share of a small year.
After a wet May the river still looks small. Is that a flood job?
Usually not. Overbank flow is rare here. The quiet failure is perched water in the loess while the Smoky Hill stays inside a shallow trench. Houses that never saw surface water still take it through the wall. A flood narrative wastes the first hour on the wrong elevation.
The rest of the year is dry. Can a May leak just evaporate out?
The wall can look dry by July while the loess still holds what May put in, and the irrigation around town keeps a local table from dropping. A summer walkthrough that only checks the surface will miss an assembly that is still wet at the footing.
