Frequently asked questions
Palatine-side till is miles from the lake. Why do June basements still fill?
Evanston sits on the wave-cut North Shore. Arlington Heights sits on inland till, miles from the lake, with no ravine to the water. June rain here perches on farm tiles, not on a beach-ridge water table. The county line is not the climate. Scarsdale and Winston Park sit on inland till; a North Shore ravine diagnosis from Evanston does not travel to Palatine-side streets.
Cicero is also a Cook suburb. Same bungalow-and-canal story?
Cicero sits on the Sanitary and Ship Canal with a 1938 bungalow grid. This city is a 1974 upland ranch suburb. Combined-sewer surcharge on a canal is not crushed farm tile on till. A 1974 ranch on crushed farm tile is not a 1938 bungalow on the Sanitary Canal, even though both are Cook County.
The tiles were there when the house was new. Why fail now?
Clay crushes clay pipe. Fifty years of till load closes the farm drains that the ranch was built on top of. June rain that used to leave now sits, and the basement is the unused outlet. Williamsburg ranches on that closed tile now pond in June; the drain that worked in 1974 is the one that failed.
