Frequently asked questions
The basement wall moved after a wet July that followed a dry June. Why that order?
The clay swelled from empty. A dry June shrinks it back, and a wet July then pushes it against the wall faster than a steady season would, so the sequence does more damage than the total. Rapid rewetting is what moves a 1986 wall.
The house is not on Lake Jacomo. Why would the lake still wet a basement?
The lake sets the outlet elevation for the draws. When it is high, a swale that used to empty cannot, and a 1986 basement in that swale is the new low point. You do not need shoreline to feel the lake's grade. A house toward Grain Valley can still sit in a draw the lake holds up, with no shoreline in sight.
A silted swale. Is that a grading issue or a clay issue?
Both. The swale was cut through residual clay that sloughs back in. July rain then has no path, and the window well is the overflow. Re-cutting without changing how the downspouts land will silt it shut again. Re-cut the swale and move the downspouts off the clay, or July will fill the same bowl again.
