Frequently asked questions
There is no creek in the yard. Where is the September water coming from?
Through the rock. Limestone here takes remnant rain into seams and moves it sideways, so a basement can wet with the street dry. Dye and a wet-weather look at the footing tell you more than a map of surface drainage. The clay lots are the opposite problem: they hold water against the cut.
A 1993 house should be drained. Why would the uphill wall still seep?
The year is new; the cut is still a clay face. Tile that discharges to a small yard drain is not the same as relieving the uphill side. September remnants keep that face wet for days, and a basement wall poured against it is a dam unless the water is taken off before it reaches the block.
There is no water anywhere on the surface and the basement is wet. How?
Through the seams. Limestone under these lots carries September remnant rain into a basement with nothing showing at grade, so the yard offers no clue at all. A 1993 subdivision still sits on karst nobody drained.
