Frequently asked questions
Landscaping has built up around the slab over the years. Does that matter?
It matters more than almost anything else on this ground. A slab poured in the 1980s was set a specific height above grade, and thirty years of added beds, mulch and sod can bury that margin entirely. Once soil sits against or above the slab edge, water that used to run past the house is held against it, and the pad takes moisture from the side rather than shedding it.
Does the limestone underneath change how water moves?
Yes, and not always predictably. Water in this ground follows solution channels in the rock rather than spreading evenly, so it can leave one lot quickly and arrive under another with no surface sign of the path. That is why two houses on the same street with the same grade can behave completely differently through the same wet season.
Is a wet slab edge in July a leak or the season?
The test is whether it tracks the weather or the calendar. A leak responds to individual storms and to plumbing use, and shows up in dry months too. A seasonal table produces damp that appears as the wet season builds, holds through it whether or not it rained yesterday, and recedes in October. Watching it across a few weeks separates them more reliably than looking at it once.
