Frequently asked questions
The rain total is under three inches. Why is May the problem month?
Intensity and ice. May storms here are short and can include hail that fills gutters before the rain has a chance to leave them. Three inches arriving as a cloudburst on cracked clay is not the same as three inches of drizzle on loam.
The basement wall cracked in a dry month. Is that still water?
It is clay moving. Denver Formation clay loses volume in a dry winter and the wall follows it; May swell then pushes the other way. The crack is a soil-mechanics problem that becomes a water problem the first time a gutter dumps into it.
A window well filled with hail. Is that enough to flood a lower level?
Yes. Hail blocks the well drain, then melts into a lined pit against a window that was never meant to be a dam. The lower level of a split-level is only a sill above that well. Clearing the drain before May is worth more than a larger downspout.
