Frequently asked questions
Why is February the wettest month rather than a summer storm month?
Because the heaviest rainfall here is frontal rather than convective. Winter systems deliver sustained rain over hours, and they arrive when evaporation and plant uptake are both minimal, so the ground retains far more of it than an equivalent summer storm would leave behind.
A lot of the housing is newer. Does that reduce moisture risk?
It changes where the risk sits. Newer assemblies generally shed water better, but more of them are slab-on-grade with plumbing underneath, and more are on lots that were cut and filled. The failure modes shift from aging detail to hidden leak and disturbed drainage.
What does being on the Fall Line mean for a specific property?
That the soil and slope can change substantially within a short distance. Upland side, water tends to run off; river side, it tends to sit. Knowing which side a property is on explains more about its drainage behavior than the rainfall figures do.
