Frequently asked questions
March fronts look quieter than July thunder. Why do they wet more crawls?
Because March is when the ground is already full. Summer storms are sharp and the clay can still crack between them; the late-winter fronts keep it wet for weeks, and 5.02 inches in March lands on soil that has not dried since December. A crawl that never got a dry start cannot throw off the wettest month. The calendar peak is not the loudest thunder.
The brick wall is damp on a dry March day. Is that a leak?
Often condensation. North brick stays cold through a Piedmont March, and humid air from the wet ground and a warm afternoon then condenses inside the wall without a drop falling. A hose test on a dry day will miss it. Heat and air movement in that wall matter more than a new gutter in the weeks when the clay is already soaked.
The house up the street stays dry. Why doesn't this one?
Draws. A 1972 cottage set a few feet down toward a Piedmont branch takes March water that the ridge lot sheds. The same front, two elevations, and clay that will not take it downward. Walking the grade from the ridge to the piers usually shows the path without opening a wall.
