Frequently asked questions
Two houses a few miles apart, same March storm, opposite symptoms. Why?
The Fall Line. North of it the ground is Piedmont clay that sheds; south of it is Coastal Plain sand that stores. One crawl takes runoff in an hour; the other takes groundwater for days. The city is two hydrologies sharing a name.
The river is low at the dam. Does that mean the bank lots are dry?
Not necessarily. Stage here is managed, but bank lots still sit on alluvium whose water table answers to more than the visible pool. A March cell on the Piedmont can raise seepage against a crawl while the tailwater looks ordinary.
The yard cracked in August. Why does that predict a wet crawl in March?
The crack is a gap at the slab or stem wall. Residual clay shrinks through the late dry stretch and opens that slot; March rain then uses it. The dry season is when the path is cut, and the wet season is when it is used.
