Frequently asked questions
Why does the same storm flood one house on a street and not the next?
Almost always grading and drainage rather than the storm. A downspout discharging near a foundation, a lot that has settled toward the house, or a blocked window well changes where several hundred gallons go. Neighboring houses get identical rainfall and very different outcomes.
What does a dry summer have to do with a wet basement in spring?
Expansive soil shrinks when it dries, opening a gap alongside the foundation wall. That gap is a direct channel for the next heavy rain, delivering water straight down to footing level instead of letting it disperse through the soil. The drought sets up the leak the storm delivers.
How would I test a sump pump before I need it?
Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch it cycle. You are checking that the float rises and triggers, that the pump moves water, and that the discharge actually runs away from the house rather than back toward it. Most failures are at the float switch, and that is exactly what this test exposes.
