Frequently asked questions
The lot looks level. How can karst still move water under it?
Level is the residual clay. Under it, limestone is full of joints. May rain that ponds on the clay finds a swallet — sometimes a downspout outfall — and reappears as a wet basement or a collapsing walk. The surface has no creek because the creek is underground. That is the Pennyroyal pattern, not a mystery leak.
Can a downspout really feed a hole under the house?
On this rock it is a common trigger. Concentrated discharge on a joint does in a season what diffuse rain would take years to do. A basement that wets only when the gutters run, with no plumbing failure, is often a swallet the downspout has been charging. Move the water before treating the wall.
There is no creek anywhere near this house. Why does May rain come up under the slab?
Because it went underground first. Pennyroyal swallets take the rain and return it through the rock beneath the lot, so it arrives under the slab with no surface channel in sight. Looking for a ditch to blame wastes the visit; the channel here is below the ground, not on it.
