Frequently asked questions
We are on the isthmus, well above the lakes. Dry basement?
Higher, not disconnected. Isthmus sand is a window on the same water the lakes are made of, and a basement is a hole in that sand. A high lake in June is a reasonable forecast for seepage even on a lot that never floods.
The house is on the old marsh ring. Different from the isthmus?
Different ground. Peat and fill around the lakes settle, hold water, and keep a basement wet in months the isthmus sand would have drained. A repair that works on the isthmus can fail on the marsh ring because the material is not the same.
The lakes are scenic. Are they also a building dimension?
They are the water table with a view. Stage, seepage, and humidity over the isthmus all track the Yahara chain. Treating the lakes as decoration and the basement as a separate problem is how a wet June keeps being a surprise.
