Frequently asked questions
The cottage has no wall cavity at all. Where does a leak go?
Along the framing. In single-wall construction there is no insulation to soak, so water tracks the timber and surfaces well away from where it entered. The damage maps the frame rather than the roof.
The stream is dry most of the year. Why grade away from the fan?
Because March does not need a wet year. A Kona cell on West Maui fills Kahoma and Kaua'ula in hours, and a lot on the fan is in that path. Dry eleven months is the setup that lets people build in a wash. The twelfth month is the test.
A single-wall cottage has no cavity. Where does March rain even sit?
On the wood. There is no insulation to soak, so water tracks along studs and into rooms in minutes. Salt has already opened the flashing, and a March cell then uses those joints. The assembly fails fast and shows fast, which is the opposite of a slab leak that hides.
