Frequently asked questions
What is the Fall Line and can it really matter within one city?
It is the boundary where hard Piedmont rock meets the softer coastal plain, and it does matter at that scale. Soils, infiltration and slope all change across it, so drainage advice that works on one side can be wrong on the other even a short distance away.
Why do two nearby houses behave completely differently in the same storm?
Usually because they are on different sides of that geological transition. One is on deep weathered rock that sheds water; the other is on sand that takes it in until it saturates. The rainfall is identical and the ground response is not, which is what produces the difference.
Does proximity to the river drive most of the risk?
For a minority of properties, yes. For most, the bigger factor is being downslope of higher ground: water generated on the plateau arrives regardless of how far the river is. River exposure affects specific parcels; slope position affects a much larger number.
