Frequently asked questions
This used to be farmland. Why does that still wet a 1979 house?
The grade was cut for furrows, not for a slab. Those rows still carry water, and alkaline silt that held irrigation all summer now crusts in the dry months and will not take the first February storm. The water follows the old crop line to the lowest pad. A house can sit on a former field and still take the field's drainage.
The septic is in the back. Can it wet the slab from there?
On this floodplain, yes, when the San Jacinto is up. Leach lines need unsaturated soil to work, and a high river fills the silt from below, so effluent has nowhere to go but sideways. The wet line often shows at the downhill slab edge rather than at the tank. A dry yard in February is not a dry table under the house.
Twelve inches a year does not sound like much. Why worry about February?
Because it is not spread out. Three inches in the wettest month is a quarter of the year in a few storms, landing on a crust that has not seen water since spring. Intensity at the screed matters more than the annual total, and a 1979 stucco base was not detailed for a sheet of water at the plate.
