Frequently asked questions
Why does the same storm wet one side of town and not the other?
Sand and clay. North of the Fall Line the rain goes in and then hits clay at depth, so it moves sideways. South of it the rain never goes in. A house sitting on the contact gets the sandhill's perched flow and the clay's runoff in one event. Address is not a small thing here.
Someone dumped sand on a clay lot. Did that help drainage?
It usually made a perched layer. Sand on clay holds a bathtub of water at the fill contact, often right at slab or crawlspace height. The lot looks better graded and then seeps at the seam all June.
Is the river the moisture source for houses well off the bank?
For groundwater on the lower terraces, it can be. The Savannah holds the water table under those clay flats. A house that never floods can still have a damp crawlspace because the river, not the thunderstorm, is setting the water level in the ground.
