Frequently asked questions
The house is only twenty years old. Why is the slab edge damp?
Age is not the protection people expect on this ground. A slab poured on graded red clay sits on material that swells when it takes water and stops accepting more, so March rain runs along the top of the clay to the nearest edge, which is the foundation. New construction is if anything more exposed, because the backfill against the wall is disturbed clay that settles and channels water down to the footing.
Rain here peaks in March, not summer. Does that change anything?
It changes the drying window. A summer storm falls on warm ground with months of heat behind it. Winter frontal rain falls on cold clay in a season with short days and low evaporation, so the ground stays loaded between fronts rather than shedding between them. That is why a wall can be wet in March and dry by June without anything being repaired.
Is a crawl space or a slab worse on this hillside?
They fail differently. A crawl on a bench cut takes water at the uphill wall and holds humid air under the floor because the shaded side never gets sun. A slab takes it at the perimeter and wicks up through the pad. What decides it is grade: whichever one sits below the surrounding dirt with nowhere to drain is the one that stays wet.
