Frequently asked questions
Thirty-four inches of rain a year is not much. Why are wet basements common?
Because the soil takes almost none of it and the ground is flat. Clay till drains slowly, so water that lands stays near the surface, and without gradient it does not travel away. A modest annual total behaves like a larger one when nothing removes it.
The subdivision was farmland. Does that leave anything behind?
Often the drainage assumptions. Agricultural land here was managed with ditches and tile, and subdivisions built over it inherit whatever remains of that system. Some of it still functions, some was cut during construction, and the difference is rarely documented anywhere a homeowner can see.
How does frost depth affect a basement?
It works the joints. Ground freezing well below the surface moves as it does so, and that movement widens existing cracks over a winter. The freeze itself lets little water in; what follows it does, because the spring melt arrives at openings the winter enlarged.
