Frequently asked questions
What is saprolite and why does it matter here?
It is bedrock that has weathered in place into a deep, clay-rich layer without being carried away. It matters because it behaves like soil for drainage purposes but sits tens of feet thick, so water entering it moves slowly and has a long way to go before reaching anything that drains freely.
The house is fifteen years old. Should the grading still be a suspect?
Frequently it is. Builder grading is set at completion and then settles, and on a graded lot the boundary between cut and fill becomes a preferential path for water. A house well under twenty years old can be taking water because the ground around it has moved since the day it was finished.
Do crawlspace vents help in this climate?
In summer they usually hurt. Warm humid outside air entering a cooler crawlspace raises the relative humidity rather than lowering it, and condensation forms on joists and ductwork. The venting logic assumes outside air is drier than inside air, which here is often the opposite.
