Frequently asked questions
March is not hurricane season. Why is that the month the crawl stays wet?
Because it is the frontal peak on cold clay. Five inches in March fall on ground that has been wet since winter, and evaporation is still weak, so the red clay above the saprolite stays full. A summer storm of the same size can leave in a day of heat. A March front cannot. The crawl on the lower streets is over that cold, wet clay until April sun finally pulls it down.
Houses on the college hill seem drier than houses toward the Yellow River. Is that real?
It is the same clay at two heights. The hill sheds; the bottoms receive, and the Yellow River keeps the table up so a crawl down there sits over saturated ground. A house cut into the hill has a different problem: the buried uphill wall seeps because the cut holds water against it. Neither is dry. They fail on opposite walls. Height changes which wall, not whether the clay is wet.
Crawl vents sit almost at the grass. Do they help in a March stall?
They can become inlets. A stalled March front wets the yard for days, and vents set at grade take splash and even shallow standing water into the crawl. Raising the grade at the openings, or fitting vents that close in a storm, keeps that pulse out. Leaving them low because 'they need air' is how a five-inch month gets under the floor on these streets.
