Frequently asked questions
The lake in the backyard rose but did not reach the patio. Why is the closet wet?
Karst. Pasco limestone pipes water under a pad and can daylight it inside the house while the lake is still a few inches short of the slab. The closet is reporting a throat in the rock, not a splash from the shore. A lake-level story misses that path entirely.
August is one month. Why does the ground stay wet into September?
Because June and July already filled the basins. August's 9.69 inches lands on lakes and flats that have been taking daily storms for two months, so there is no empty volume left. The water has nowhere to go but up. A dry week in September is not a reset; it is a pause on full ground.
The builder called the pond an amenity. Is it holding water against the house?
Often. Those retention ponds were sized for a plat, not for an August that follows a wet summer, and when they overtop they drain into the same swales that lead back to the pad. An amenity with no overflow path is a second lake in the front yard. The grade between the pond and the slab is the job.
