Frequently asked questions
The floodway is empty. Why is the slab still in a pond after May?
Empty is a channel story. Wellington shale between the house and that channel does not absorb a 6-inch May burst, so the water sheets to the lowest pad — which is often still a lot, not the floodway. The channel can be doing its job while the shale is doing the opposite of a sponge.
A 1991 slab. Should clay movement already be done?
Clay on this formation is not a one-time shrink. May soaks it; August bakes it; irrigation keeps one edge wet. A 30-year-old slab here has been through that cycle thirty times. Cracks that reopen on the same side after a wet May are the clay, not a failed pour from 1991.
Can runway drainage really show up in a subdivision?
When a cell sits over both, yes. Those pavements are a huge connected catchment, and the outfalls were aimed at the same low ground the housing used. A pulse that arrives a little after the rain on your roof is often that catchment, not a second storm.
