Frequently asked questions
The house is new. Why did a May storm wet the basement?
New on old drainage. These lots were fields on Crosby silt, and a 2005 basement was cut into a perched table the tile used to keep just below the plow. May rain still fills that silt. A new wall is not a new geology. If the wet is at the footing rather than a window, the field is still under the plat.
There is no large lake next to town. Why would spring water have nowhere to go?
Headwaters are not a reservoir. Big Walnut is still small here, and May on Crosby silt does not need a dammed pool to sit. The unused capacity is the tile and the ditch, and both are full after a 4.65 inch month. A held river through a larger town is a different job. This one is a wet field with streets on it.
The neighbor filled last year and we started taking water. Same May cell as before?
Same rain, new grade. Pads here went in as the town grew, so a later fill can sit a few inches higher and shed onto an earlier slab. May then uses the lower footing as a basin. Regrading the shared line matters more than which pad was poured first. The silt was already slow; the fill made it directional.
