Frequently asked questions
The lot is not on a river. Why does the basement take water in May?
Closed basins. The ice left kettles with no stream out. May rain fills those holes, and a basement cut into one is the lowest point. A river lot would have a gradient. This ground does not, which is why a high-looking moraine lot still seeps.
The lot looks high and dry. Why does the basement wall take water?
There is no outlet. These are kettle basins, so May rain ponds against the wall instead of leaving, and the moraine perches it in the upper soil even where the surface reads sandy. Looking well drained and having somewhere to drain are two different things.
A 1993 house should have drain tile. Why would it still seep?
Tile assumes the water has somewhere to go. In a kettle the tile discharges into the same closed basin the house sits in. The year is new; the outlet is not. Pumping and grading that create a real outfall matter more here than the build date.
