Frequently asked questions
Why does having two rivers matter more than having one?
Because they answer to different catchments and can peak independently. One system running high while the other is normal still restricts drainage at the confluence, and when both are elevated the bottoms have nowhere to discharge. It doubles the number of ways the same ground gets loaded.
The house is up on the bluff. Is the river irrelevant?
For inundation, largely. For the ground, no — being on the bluff means the uphill side of the foundation holds back a tall face of soil, and that face carries pressure after a wet week. The elevation swaps one risk for a different one rather than removing it.
Sixty-year-old basement. Where does water usually get in?
At the joint between the floor slab and the wall, which is the low point and never a sealed connection in stock of that age. Water arriving there is groundwater under pressure, which means the fix is outside — grading and discharge — rather than anything applied inside.
