Frequently asked questions
The floor drain is where the water comes in. Is that backwards?
It is, and it is the system doing it. Combined laterals on the west grid push May rain back up through floor drains when the line surcharges, so the fixture meant to empty the cellar fills it instead. That is a capacity problem, not a plumbing fault.
The west end is behind a wall. Why quote the Falls instead of the street drains?
The wall keeps the crest off the pavement. It does not dry Ohio silt. A 1971 cellar inside that box still sits in the floodplain, and May rain plus a held river wets it from below. The Falls are why the river sits. The drains are how you notice.
The Highlands sit above the river. Is the Ohio still the source?
Not as a river. As Beargrass. The creek is in fill under those streets, and a May cell weeps the downhill wall for days after the Ohio has dropped. Waiting on the river gauge will not dry that face. The river job is the west end. The seepage job is the creek.
