Frequently asked questions
Twelve inches a year. Why would a crawlspace be wet?
Irrigation and fog, not the annual total. Canals keep alluvium wet that would be dry grassland. January's 2.57 inches lands on that table, and tule fog then stops drying. A wet-climate number is the wrong test; the laterals and the fog are the local facts.
It only rains a few times a year. Why does the crawlspace never dry?
Tule fog. Between January storms the air stays saturated, so north walls and crawlspaces get no drying interval and the water from the last atmospheric river is still there when the next one arrives. The gaps in the rain are not gaps in the moisture.
Summer is dry. Does that reset a January leak?
Surfaces yes, assemblies not always. Irrigation never fully drops the table, so a wet crawlspace can smolder through the dry months. The dry season hides the problem more than it cures it.
