Frequently asked questions
Our lot is several acres. Does that give the water more room to drain?
Only if the land falls somewhere, and here it mostly does not. Flatwoods along the lagoon lie within a few feet of the water table and slope so little that a big lot just means a bigger area collecting rain around the same house pad. In September, when the ground is already full from summer, a tropical system adds water faster than the soil or the ditches can move it. Acreage does not drain; it stores.
The septic system backs up every autumn. Is that connected to moisture in the house?
Usually yes, through the same cause. A drainfield only works when the soil under it is unsaturated, and by late summer the water table on these lots has risen to the point where the field is sitting in groundwater. When September rain pushes it higher, the field stops draining and the wet ground extends right up to the slab. Fixing the drainage around the house and the septic system is one job, not two.
We are inland of the lagoon. Does the coast still matter for water?
It sets the water table. The lagoon is at sea level and the land here is only a few feet above it, so the groundwater under a house has a floor it cannot fall below. Add a summer of daily rain and the table is near the surface before any tropical weather arrives. A house a mile from the water sits on ground wet from below, which is why the slab edge stays damp after the rain stops.
