Frequently asked questions
Is it possible for basement water to have entered the ground miles away?
Yes, and on Ozark limestone it is ordinary. Caves and solution channels carry water across long distances underground with no relationship to surface contours, so the point where it enters the rock and the point where it reaches a foundation can be far apart and invisible from either end.
A hollow in the lawn holds water after every storm. Should it be filled?
Not before finding out what it drains into. These hollows are usually subsidence over a solution feature, and they are connected to the network below. Filling one blocks a route the ground has been using, and the water then finds a different and often less convenient way out.
The basement is cut into rock. Better or worse?
Different. Rock does not swell or settle the way soil does, which removes one failure mode. But a fracture in the rock is a direct conduit, so water can arrive through the wall along a specific seam under pressure rather than seeping generally. The fix is targeted rather than broad.
