Frequently asked questions
The yearly rainfall is not high. Why do basements still take water?
Because leaving is the problem, not arriving. Twenty-one inches would be manageable on a slope or in sand. On till with a river that has barely cut a channel, melt and June rain sit. A basement is a hole in that perched layer, and water enters it because it has nowhere else to lose elevation.
Does the river flooding and the basement seepage happen together?
Not always. Overbank flow is the obvious event. The quieter one is perched water in the till after melt, which wets walls with the river still inside its banks. Treating every wet basement as a flood misses the houses that never saw surface water.
Frost lasts a long time here. What does that do to a poured wall?
It works the joints. Deep frost heave and thaw over a long winter open hairline cracks and pull the wall away from the footing a little each year. June rain then has openings that did not exist when the wall was new, which is why a dry house can start leaking in its third or fourth decade.
