Frequently asked questions
The house is barely twenty years old. How is the ground already voided?
Loess does not need decades. Water finds a path through silt, enlarges it, and the slab loses support in a single wet May. A new house on this soil can have a hollow at the footing while the paint still looks fresh. Age of the building is not age of the soil.
A supply line under a slab. Why is that the local failure?
Because there is no basement to inspect and the clay-loess mix will not let the leak drain away. Water travels under the floor until a closet or a baseboard shows it. In this stock that is a common first call, and it has nothing to do with Dardenne Creek.
The subdivision drains to a creek that looks small. Is that the bottleneck?
Yes. Dardenne and the farm ditches were not redesigned for the roof area that landed on them. May cells that the fields once soaked now arrive as a pulse. A lot that sits a few feet above the swale can take that pulse even if the creek itself looks tame from the bridge.
