Frequently asked questions
The house is from 2008. Why would September rain follow the driveway to the garage?
Because the drive is the steepest packed surface on the lot, and the trench at the garage is still the loosest fill. A slow September remnant does not splash and leave; it soaks the drive and the dropped trench and sits. Newer is not the same as finished settling. A channel drain at the garage and a drive that no longer aims at the door are the work, not a claim that a 2008 house is 'too new' to have a path.
The sandy surface dries fast. Why is the basement still wet after a remnant?
Sand is the skin. A few feet down on this terrace is clay that perches a slow soak, and a September remnant is exactly that kind of rain. The lawn looking dry the next afternoon is the surface. The basement is the perched layer. If the sump runs the day after the sky has cleared, that is the terrace talking, not a leak in the sand you can see.
The septic field is downhill. Can a wet September push back toward the house?
On this clay, yes. A drainfield that saturates in a four-inch remnant has nowhere to send effluent, and the mound of wet ground can work back toward the basement on a lot with little fall. That is a different smell and a different path from roof water on the drive. If the wet wall is on the field side after a remnant, treat it as a saturated field, not as a gutter problem.
