Frequently asked questions
Is there a dry season worth planning around?
No. A 157-inch year does not include a month that dries a crawlspace. Work here is about keeping rain off and air moving, not about waiting for a window that the gauge does not offer. November is the peak, not the exception.
The house above us is the one that is leaking onto us. Common?
On this hillside it is the usual path. Streets switchback, lots are cut into muskeg, and every uphill roof and culvert is a catchment for the wall below. A stain on your uphill siding is often their gutter, not your roof.
Salt is on the windows facing the Narrows. Does that reach the walls?
It reaches the metal. Spray rides into flashings, tracks, and fasteners, and 1970s stock in this exposure loses those details long before the shingles themselves are gone. A leak that 'came from nowhere' on the channel side is often a corroded piece, not a storm large enough to notice.
