Frequently asked questions
The house sits above the river road. Why would the river still wet the crawl?
On the downhill side, a high July pool holds the bench. You do not need to be in the channel. A 1961 crawl on that terrace is close enough that river-held ground weeps at the lower rim. The uphill wall is the bluff. The downhill wall is the river. A house on this bench can take both in the same month.
Rain hits the cliff and is gone. Where did it go?
To the bench. Limestone and thin clay will not store a 5.42 inch July. The water sheets, and the first building it meets is the uphill wall of a house cut into the slope. A dry cliff face and a wet crawl are the same delivery. Look at the cut, not at the rock that shed it.
Should we seal the crawl for summer humidity?
Sealing it without drying the soil first traps the palisade seepage and the river table together under the floor. A ground cover, a path for air, and keeping the uphill grade off the wall do more in this gorge than a tight box. The humidity is coming from the ground on two sides, not from a leaky lid.
