Frequently asked questions
There is no sinkhole in the yard. How is karst still wetting this crawlspace?
The opening does not have to be on your lot. Joints in the Inner Bluegrass connect underground, so a July cell that disappears into a throat a field away can reappear under a house that never saw standing water. Surface topography is a poor map of the path.
The house was cut into apartments for students. What does that change?
The plumbing load. Extra kitchens and baths were usually added in stages, rarely to a drawing, and they run through drains sized for one family. More fixtures on older lines is the failure that shows up during the summer occupancy peak, which is also the wettest month.
This is not the James River city. Does the name still tell you anything useful?
Only that it is a different geology. This Richmond sits on Inner Bluegrass karst, not a Fall Line. The moisture path here is solution openings and residual clay, not a tidal river, and a repair that would work on the James does not apply on this limestone.
