Frequently asked questions
Which river actually wets a given neighborhood?
The Kansas on the south side of the junction, the Blue on the north, and both when they peak together. Fill under the older grid does not care which fork is high. A basement can wet from the Blue while the Kansas looks calm. The confluence is the feature; the name on the map is secondary.
The house is up in the Flint Hills. Are the rivers still the issue?
Not as flood. As hydrology, the hills have their own: residual clay on cherty limestone that sheds June rain into the next foundation. You traded river fill for clay swell. Elevation solved one wet basement and opened another.
Campus housing turns over every year. Does that change a leak?
It delays discovery. A supply line or a wet crawlspace in a rental that empties between terms can run for weeks. The limestone and the clay do not wait for someone to come back. Occupancy is seasonal; the moisture is not.
