Frequently asked questions
We can see the river. Is June a flood job or a wall job?
Usually a wall job. These bluff walkouts wet from the uphill cut, not from overbank flow, and June rain perches in that cut while the Grand stays in channel. A flood story sends people to the wrong door. The buried uphill face is the one that takes the month.
The lot is sandy. Why does the basement still take water?
Sand here is outwash, and it transmits. After a wet June the Grand and the Thornapple hold a table that can rise through that sand into a basement that never saw a pond in the yard. Fast drainage at the surface is not a dry footing if the rivers are high. The two rivers set the floor.
The sump runs after every June storm. Is that the drain working?
It can be the drain failing. Outwash sand silts a 1988 tile until the pipe is a sand core, and the sump then pumps the same puddle forever. A live run to daylight, or a cleanout that actually jets, is the test. Runtime alone is not proof the water is leaving the wall.
