Frequently asked questions
The creek disappeared into the ground. Is that good or bad for the house?
It is how karst works, and it is bad if your basement is on the other end. Water that sinks in a yard or a ditch is not gone; it is in the rock, and it comes out at the next opening. A dry swale upstream and a wet wall downhill are often the same flow.
The house is from 2002. Why would clay still crack the wall?
Residual clay on this limestone still shrinks and swells. A new wall is still a wall in moving soil. Drains help the water; they do not stop the clay from pushing. Lots cut in the boom years often left that clay against the buried face with no room to move.
Cut-and-fill on a sloping lot. Which side wets?
Usually the fill side. Fill perches rain at the contact with undisturbed ground, often at slab height. The cut side is in rock or stiff clay and can look dry while the fill side seeps. The house is one building on two hydrologies.
