Frequently asked questions
Water shows up in the basement after rain that fell elsewhere. Possible?
On fractured rock, yes. Dolomite carries water along seams rather than dispersing it through soil, so the entry point and the discharge point can be well apart. Grading around the house tells you about surface water and very little about what is moving underground.
Does the aquifer situation affect a house directly?
Not through the tap, now that the supply changed. What it tells you is about the ground: a deep fractured aquifer that connects over long distances is the same system routing infiltrating water near the surface. It is a well-documented clue about the geology rather than a household hazard.
How does frost depth affect a foundation here?
It works the joints over a season. Ground freezing well below the surface moves as it does, widening existing cracks through the winter. The freeze itself admits little water; the melt that follows arrives at openings the winter enlarged, which is why spring is when problems present.
