Frequently asked questions
Oneonta sits on the Susquehanna main stem. Is a Cortland cellar just that river one fork up?
The basin is the same. The channel is not. This town is the Tioughnioga in a drumlin valley, a mill terrace, and a 1947 stock. Oneonta is a different fork and a railroad town on the main stem. A wet cellar here is a drumlin-and-Tioughnioga story. Copying a Main Street-Oneonta diagnosis west will put the meter on the wrong fork.
Homer is three miles north. Do their flats explain a drumlin lot in town?
Homer is up the same valley, not this plat. A house on a drumlin fails from till and the cut. A house on the Cortland terrace fails from the river. One June cell, two shapes. Scoping the valley as one town will miss which landform the wall was poured against.
The drumlin looks like a dry hill. Why would June still find the buried wall?
Till sheds. A house cut into that drumlin has one wall against material that stays wet after every June cell. That wall is a dam, not a riverbank. Drainage at the cut matters more than anything done on the Tioughnioga floor, and a sump that only sees the cellar floor will miss the hill face.
