Frequently asked questions
Summer is supposed to be the wet season here. Why is December the problem?
The gauge says December. Winter fronts deliver a slow, cold rain onto clay that cannot evaporate and has already swollen shut, so the water sits. A July storm falls on warm ground with plants running. A December cell falls on a dormant lot and a 1989 crawl that will not see sun. The total can look similar; the drying window is not.
The house is on a hill, not the river. Is the Yellow River still involved?
As a flood, no. As a seepage path, sometimes. Granite shelves under this clay weep all winter, and a benched house on the slope takes that seepage at the uphill wall whether the river is in sight or not. The river job is the bottom. The hill job is the cut. They fail in the same month for different reasons.
Should the crawl vents be closed for winter?
Closing them traps the December moisture the clay is already feeding under the floor. This stock needs a path for that air to leave, and a ground cover on the soil, more than it needs a sealed box. A vent on the shaded side will look wet; that is the clay breathing, not a reason to shut the crawl up with the water still in it.
