Frequently asked questions
It rained in March and the crawl space is still wet in April. Is the water still coming in?
Probably not; what you are seeing is water that never left. Prairie clay on the Black Belt swells and closes when it saturates, so rain in the wettest month cannot drain downward and instead sits in the low ground under and around the house. In April the sun is not yet strong enough to lift it, so a crawl space that filled in March stays damp until the ground itself dries in May.
The ground cracks open every August. Does that matter for a house on piers?
It matters at the piers themselves. When the clay shrinks in late summer it pulls away from anything set into it, leaving open gaps beside each pier and at the skirting line. The first heavy autumn rain runs down those gaps before the clay has time to swell shut again, so the soil directly under the house gets wetter than the yard around it. Filling the gaps with more clay only repeats the cycle.
Should the skirting on a manufactured home be sealed tight?
Not on this ground. Tight skirting on damp prairie clay traps humid air under the floor with no way to exchange it, and the underside of the home stays wet long after the surface has dried. Skirting with vents, a ground cover under the home, and a grade that carries water away from the skirting line do more for the floor than sealing it, because the moisture here comes up from the soil rather than in through the walls.
