Frequently asked questions
The river is rising and it has not rained. Should we act?
Yes, if the stage is climbing. This reach answers to the basin, not the town gauge, so a crest can be days of upstream rain away and still be a local problem. The useful signal is the river forecast, not the sky.
The river dropped last week and the crawlspace is still wet. Why?
Alluvium does not drain on the river's timetable. Silt against a wall holds the crest for weeks, and a crawlspace in that bank is wet from contact, not from overtopping. Waiting for the channel to look normal is waiting too long to dry the space.
A little creek behind us came up with the river, not with rain. How?
Backwater. When the Ohio is high it stands in the mouths of its tributaries and those creeks cannot discharge, so they rise even without local rain. A house on a 'creek' lot here is often on a river lot by another name.
