Frequently asked questions
The basement takes water when the creek is up, not when it rains. Why?
Because the valley floor is filled with outwash gravel, which is far more permeable than the till around it. Water moves through it easily, and the level within it follows the creek rather than the sky. When the creek rises, the table in the gravel rises with it and reaches basements dug into the bottoms, whether or not anything fell that week.
Does the old canal alignment still affect anything?
In places, yes. A canal was a graded cut with its own embankments and feeders, and even long after it stops carrying water the cut remains a low line through the ground with disturbed fill along it. Water still collects and travels along that alignment, which is why parts of an old village can behave differently from ground fifty yards away for no visible reason.
Half the housing here is newer. Is it on the same ground?
Usually not, and that is the important difference. The older village occupies the valley bottom on outwash, while most newer subdivisions sit on the till above it. Those are two quite different drainage situations: the bottoms answer to the creek and its gravel, the uplands to slow-draining till, and advice that fits one frequently does not fit the other.
