Frequently asked questions
The basement gets wet in July with no rain. Explanation?
Almost certainly irrigation. Canals run water through this area from spring into autumn, and that raises the water table across a wide area regardless of rainfall. The timing follows the irrigation season rather than the weather, which is why it looks inexplicable at first.
Thirteen inches of precipitation. Why is drainage a topic?
Because most of the water here did not fall from the sky. Mountain snowmelt and canal irrigation both move large volumes through the ground on schedules a rain gauge never records. The annual figure describes the weather, not the hydrology under the house.
Does the basalt underneath change anything?
It makes flow paths unpredictable. Fractured volcanic rock carries water along joints rather than spreading it evenly through soil, so water can travel some distance and surface at a point with no obvious relationship to where it entered. Surface grading tells you less here than usual.
