Frequently asked questions
The harbor looks still. Why is the cellar on Lake Macatawa still damp in October?
The lake sets the table, not the chop you can see. When Michigan is up, Lake Macatawa sits high, and a basement on that fill is in the same pool. A still surface is not a low table. Closing the vents in October then traps what the harbor is already adding.
The river is not in flood, so why is the cellar taking water?
Because the lake will not let it leave. When Lake Michigan is high the harbor cannot discharge, and the river simply stops falling — so October rain sits in the ground under harbor-fill basements with the channel well inside its banks.
Do the dunes keep a hillside house drier than a Villas lot on the water?
Drier is not dry. The dune sheds into the same harbor table. A hillside house fails from uphill seepage and downspouts that terminate at the lot line. A Villas lot fails from a lake that will not fall. Treating both as 'lake moisture' misses the cut on one and the fill on the other.
