Frequently asked questions
Water came up through the floor drain with almost no rain in the yard. How?
From the sewer, not the sky. The Mill Creek basin still runs combined, so a May cell that fills the pipes has nowhere to go but back through the lowest opening in the house. The yard can look dry while the basement is taking the neighborhood's runoff.
We are on a hill, not in the basin. Same May problem?
A different one. The hill sheds rather than surcharges: every lot is a catchment for the one below, and a brick row puts downspouts against the next uphill wall. You are out of the combined-sewer reverse-flow and into a gravity problem.
Covington is right across the Ohio. Why would the job here be different?
Because the hill and the sewer are on this side. Covington's story is the Licking terrace; this city's is seven hills draining into a combined Mill Creek basin. Same May total at Lunken, two different paths into two different kinds of basement.
