Frequently asked questions
The bayou did not overtop. Why is the slab edge wet all June?
Overtopping is not the test. Bayou Lafourche sets the water table a few feet under the ridge, and an 8.67 inch month on that table has nowhere to fall. The slab edge sits in warm groundwater whether the bank was overtopped or not. Cane ditches add a second delay: they fill and wait on pumps. The bayou looking 'in' is a bank story. The slab is a table story.
Should a pier house on the back swamp side be skirted tight?
Tight skirting on this mud traps the year under the floor. A 71-inch climate and a bayou-level table mean the ground is wet most months; sealing the skirt holds humid air against the joists. Vent it, put a ground cover down, and keep the grade falling toward the ditch, not the pad. The swamp side is always the wet side. Skirting as if it were a dry lot is how the floor stays wet in June.
The first course of block is stained and the roof is sound. Is that splash from 8.67 inches?
Splash and wick. Block sitting in warm standing water takes it up the first course even without a roof leak, and June here is a month of standing water. Lower the grade at the wall, keep the ditch working, and stop irrigation against the block. A roof inspection will not explain a stain that starts at the mud line and stops a foot up.
