Frequently asked questions
Fourteen inches a year. Where is the moisture at the foundation coming from in July?
The canal. Irrigation laterals on this bench run all summer, and silt that looks like desert from the street is wet a foot down. A 1995 crawl or slab next to a lateral takes that seepage whether the gauge is dry. Winter is the rain. Summer is the ditch. They fail the same wall for different reasons.
December is barely two inches. Why would that wet a crawl?
Because the ground is not ready. Canal season has already loaded the silt, then December rain and melt land on cold ground that cannot take more. Two inches on a closed bench is a pond at the rim joist. The number is small; the timing stacks it on soil that is already spoken for.
The fog is thick for a week and it never rains. Does that matter inside a wall?
It can on the north side. Valley fog holds the air at saturation while the siding is cold, so moisture condenses on and in the wall without a drop on the gauge. A shaded 1990s wall can stay damp for the whole inversion. Ventilation and heat do more during those weeks than a drainage fix.
