Frequently asked questions
The Ohio is a few miles north. Is river flooding the risk here?
No. This sits on the upland south of the bluff, on Lexington Limestone, not on a river terrace. Karst is the job. June's 4.75 inches goes into swallow holes and comes back out in a downhill basement, and residual clay over that rock swells on the same seasonal cycle. A house here can wet with the river miles away and perfectly well behaved, because the rock is the drain.
A small depression keeps coming back after we fill it. Worry?
On this limestone, yes enough to look. A repeating dip, a downspout that drains faster than it used to, or a lateral that never seems to stay dry can mean a void opening. Concentrated water dissolves the rock. Spreading the discharge is cheaper than a surprise hole.
The basement is from 1985. Shouldn't it have a drain?
Many do, and the drain still has to outlet. On karst that outlet can be a ditch that is also a swallow hole, or a storm sewer that drops into rock. A tile that dumps into the same limestone the rain is using is not a way out; it is a way in from another direction.
