Frequently asked questions
The plat shows no ditch. Why is there a wet line across the basement after July storms?
Farm tile. This till was drained for fields before the 1980s streets, and those laterals still run. A 4.89 inch month finds them, and a 1985 footing sitting over one takes the field's water. The plat records the lots. It does not record the pipes that were already in the clay.
The creek is down this week. Why is the walkout still damp?
July loaded the till, and a walkout on the creek side sits at the depth where that till weeps. A low surface in the channel is not a dry bank. The finished lower room is the one against the soil. Give it a week of heat and a working footer drain; a dropped creek does not empty the wall overnight.
Would tying the downspouts into the street have been better?
On this grid it often made it worse. The street already takes the tile and the yards, and a July cell fills it. Roof water added to that main comes back at the footing. A discharge onto grade well away from the 1985 wall is the cleaner path. Sharing the pipe shares the surcharge.
