Frequently asked questions
The rain stopped days ago and the basement still feels damp. Why?
The air is not leaving. Cold-air inversions settle in the gorge and hold humidity against these basements for days after the weather clears, so there is no drying even once the rain has gone. The valley traps the air as well as the water.
The Mississippi is down. Why is a sandstone-cut wall on the bluff still seeping in June?
That wall is holding the bluff, not the river. Water that entered the sandstone above the house is still moving downslope days later, and the gorge inversion keeps it from drying. The channel sets the flood question; the cut sets the seepage question. They are not one June event.
June is warm elsewhere. Why does the crawl here stay wet after the storm?
The gorge traps cold air. An inversion holds humidity against the floor for days, vents pull that air onto cold wood, and the basement stays in the month. Heat that would dry a prairie town does not reach this pocket.
