Frequently asked questions
Water pools in the same corner of the yard every March. Is that a foundation problem?
Not by itself, but it is the warning. Piedmont clay sheds water rather than taking it, so it collects at the low point and stays. If that low point is against the house, the standing water is in contact with the foundation for as long as it takes to evaporate, which in a cold wet month can be days. Moving the low point away from the wall is usually the whole fix.
Why does the crawl space stay damp when it has not rained for a week?
Because the water is arriving through the ground, not from the sky. On a slope, rain that fell days ago is still moving downhill through the soil above the clay, and a crawl cut into that slope intercepts it at the uphill wall. The delay between rain and dampness is the travel time through the soil, which is why the two do not appear connected.
Half the housing here is newer. Are those houses better off?
Somewhat, mostly because of drainage detailing that became standard later. But newer construction on this clay has its own exposure: the backfill in the trench beside a foundation is disturbed clay that settles for years, so a grade that fell away from the house at handover can be flat or reversed a decade later, delivering water to exactly the place the design meant to protect.
