Frequently asked questions
The yard cracks open in August. Is that a foundation problem?
It is a warning about one. Those cracks are the clay contracting, and the same contraction opens a gap alongside the foundation. When rain returns, that gap is a direct route to the footing, so a dry-weather symptom sets up a wet-weather failure.
How much rain does a bad storm actually drop here?
Several inches in a few hours is well within normal for the warm season. What matters is that these systems move slowly, so the same ground receives rain for an extended period rather than a passing burst. Drainage sized for average intensity gets overwhelmed by duration.
When should a sump pump be tested?
Early spring, before the wet season rather than during it. Most failures are quiet ones — a stuck float, a tripped outlet — that leave a pump off for weeks without any sign. The discovery usually happens when there is already water on the floor rather than when it could still be prevented.
