Frequently asked questions
A stalled front sat over us and only the lowest lots flooded. Why those?
The draws back up first. Kill Creek and the small channels fill before anything larger reacts, so the lowest 1990s lots take water while the rest of the street is merely wet. Position in the draw decides it.
The neighbor's yard drains and ours stays soft. Same street, why?
The soil boundary can run between the two. Till and residual clay meet in this area without regard for lot lines, and the till side holds water near the surface while the clay side lets it down to the limestone. Two lots can sit on opposite sides of that line and behave nothing alike.
There is limestone below us that should drain. Why does water sit?
It never reaches the limestone. Glacial till holds May water at shallow depth and keeps it from getting down to the joints that would take it, so the rock underneath is irrelevant to what the basement sees. The problem lives in the first few feet.
