Frequently asked questions
The rain ended days ago and a lower room is still taking water. Why?
The backfill behind the retaining wall is still draining. Water held in that ground releases into lower rooms well after the storm, so the timing has little to do with the weather outside. The wall is emptying, not leaking.
February is just over three inches. Why are the lower rooms still wet in March?
The bluff stores it. Planter soil and wall backfill release February rain for days. A 1968 lower room is on the downhill side of that storage. The pier can sparkle and the wall still weep. Month totals do not measure a retaining wall.
Is the marine layer the mold, or is it the wall?
The marine layer slows drying. The wall supplies the water. A patch that tracks storms and sits on a lower, bluff-facing room is seepage, not fog. Fog does not follow a cold joint down a retaining wall. Fog wets a surface; a cold joint wets a cavity, and those are different jobs.
