Frequently asked questions
The Mississippi did not flood. Why is the lowest street still wet?
Yazoo backwater. That system sits against the bluff independently of the main channel's stage. A high Yazoo can wet the toe blocks with the Mississippi behaving itself. Treating every wet cellar as a river flood misses the houses that never saw surface water from either stream.
A void opened under the uphill footing. Is that a river problem?
It is a loess problem. Silt on this bluff pipes: water finds a path, enlarges it, and the ground under the wall goes hollow. April's peak is when that usually starts. The river can be a mile away and still have nothing to do with the void.
The house is cut into the bluff. Which wall should be checked first?
The buried one. That face is a dam against silt that stays wet after the storm. There is often no tile on the cut and no room to add one toward the next house upslope. Interior coatings will not stop water that is being held against the outside of the wall.
