Frequently asked questions
The lake is a mile away. Does it still wet a slab that never saw surge?
As a table, yes. North-shore lots sit only a few feet above Pontchartrain, so the groundwater under a 1979 pad has a floor it cannot fall below. July's 7.52 inches then lifts that table into the slab edge without a wave in the yard. Surge is a different, rarer job. The quiet month is the lake from below.
The canal behind the house looks low. Why did the street pond in July?
The lake at the mouth was not low. When Pontchartrain is up, the canals cannot discharge, so a July cell sits in the streets even if the ditch by the house looks empty. The local canal is a pipe to the lake, not a hole with its own bottom. A high lake makes a low-looking canal a dead end.
We are on slab, not a crawl. Is the wet season still a wall problem?
At the plate. These 1979 houses often have no stem wall, so ponded July rain splashes the bottom plate and soaks the first course of block or the bottom of the frame. The floor can look fine. The wall base is where the month shows. A splash course and grade away from the slab are the small jobs that match the way water actually arrives.
