Frequently asked questions
Only the uphill side of the house is damp. Why?
Because that side is retaining ground rather than enclosing space. On a hillside lot, subsurface water moves downslope and meets the first thing cut into the hill, which is the uphill foundation wall. The downhill side never experiences the same pressure, so the asymmetry is expected.
Twenty-one inches of rain. Does that justify drainage work?
The distribution matters more than the total. Nearly all of it falls between November and March, so the soil is loaded continuously for months rather than wetting and drying. Sustained pressure on a wall does more than a larger annual figure spread evenly across the year.
Does bay proximity affect a crawlspace?
It raises the ambient humidity the space is ventilated with. Air coming off the bay is often close to saturated, so venting a cool crawlspace with it adds moisture rather than removing it. Sealing and controlling the space usually outperforms increasing airflow here.
