Frequently asked questions
Spring cells are louder. Why does a quiet October leftover wet a 1980 split first?
The remnants stay. Summer cells are sharp and the ground can dry between them; October's 4.88 inches often arrives as a day-long tropical leftover that soaks 1980 short basements the summer never had time to. The loudest thunder is not the month that fills a lower floor. The slow one is.
The family room is three steps down. Why does that room take October first?
Usually. That floor is a basement on the downhill side, buried in whatever the lot was cut from, and October rain hits that buried face first. The upper slab can stay dry while the lower rooms wet from the soil. Treat the split as two elevations, not one house with a damp family room.
We sit on sand, not clay. Why does a remnant still show up inside?
Sand pipes. A slow October rain can move under the pad through Coastal Plain sand and daylight at the low corner without ever ponding in the yard. Clay bottoms next door will show a wet wall instead. Same month, two soils on this divide. A dry lawn is not a dry pad on sand.
