Frequently asked questions
The yearly rainfall is not high. Why do these basements still take water?
Because leaving is the problem, not arriving. Thirty-five inches would be manageable on a slope or in sand. On lake-plain clay with a ditch for a river, melt and May rain sit. A basement is a hole in that perched layer. Norwayne basements on that clay are the local low points, which is why a modest May total still fills them.
Is a Norwayne house a different job from a later ranch?
The ground is the same clay. The difference is the assembly. Those wartime houses were built fast, often without a drain or a damp-proof face. A later ranch may have a tile that has since crushed in the same clay. Both wet; the entry path is not the same. Open the original Norwayne footing if the house is wartime; camera the later tile if it is a 1970s ranch on the same clay.
The creek stayed inside its banks and the wall is wet. What did that?
Clay held the rain up high. Lacustrine soil perches a May cell in the upper few feet instead of letting it down, so the wall takes water with no overbank flow anywhere. The channel is not the mechanism most of the time.
