Frequently asked questions
We are on the ocean side. Does the lagoon still set the water under the house?
It does. The island is a thin sand pile between two water bodies at nearly the same elevation, so the table under a beach-side slab still has the lagoon as a floor it cannot fall below. Add a September tropical week and that table rises through the fill from both shores. A dune lot is not a drain; it is a sponge between tides.
There has been no rain, but the windward wall is damp. Is that the ocean?
Spray, not rain. On this barrier, wind-driven salt water wets the same stucco and window heads for days at a time, and 1987-era seals were not built for that. The wall can take more water from a windy week than from a quiet rain. Washing the salt off is not enough; the joints and the weep line are where it gets in.
The septic alarm goes off every September. Is that connected to the wet slab?
Usually the same table. A drainfield only works in unsaturated sand, and by late summer the lagoon has already lifted groundwater into the field. September rain then puts the field and the slab in the same water. Fixing drainage around the house without the septic, or the septic without the grade, leaves half the job.
