Frequently asked questions
The crawlspace is wet when it has not rained in days. Why?
Muskeg does not drain on a rain schedule. It stores a storm and bleeds it for weeks, so the ground under a house stays wet long after the sky has cleared. A dry stretch in the forecast is not a dry stretch under the floor.
Pilings should keep the building above the water. Do they?
Above the tide, not above the air. The space under a piling house is open to a 100-inch climate, and wood in that space takes on moisture from the air even when the tide is down. Keeping spray and splash off the sills matters; it does not make the crawlspace dry.
The mountain is behind us, not over us. Does it still wet the lot?
It sheds onto you. The bench is a thin strip between timber and channel, so every roof of forest above is a catchment for the lots below. A culvert or a swale that clogs turns that entire hillside into a sheet across the pad.
