Frequently asked questions
The house is on the bluff. Is the marsh still the moisture source?
Usually not. The bluff sheds to the river, so a wet wall there is runoff, a roof, or masonry that was never watertight. The marsh is the problem on the hammocks and the filled southside, where the tide sets the water table. Elevation answers the flood question and leaves two different jobs.
A raised cottage sits above the yard. Why is the crawl still wet in August?
Because the crawl is sitting in marsh air and a tidal table, not in the yard. Raising the floor keeps floodwater out of the rooms. It does not stop humid August air or groundwater from wetting the joists, and closing the lattice to keep bugs out then traps what the marsh is already adding.
Do the old drainage canals still decide where a slab takes water?
On the southside, yes. Those canals are the only outfall, and a high tide locks them. An August storm then has nowhere to discharge, so the lowest slabs take the surcharge. The canal that drained a farm is now the plumbing for a neighborhood.
