Frequently asked questions
We are not on the water. Why is September still the wet month that matters?
Because remnants stall inland too. Five inches in September is a long rain on sand that looks well drained and then perches on clay a few feet down. The beach towns have wind tide; this divide has a buried bathtub. A crawl that sits at that contact gets the remnant from below while the grass dries. Distance from the bay does not move that clay bed.
The septic field is downhill. Can it still wet the crawl in September?
If the clay bed is continuous, the perched water does not care about the surface slope. Drain-field outflow in a wet September adds to a layer that already sits at crawl depth, and that layer can move sideways toward the house as easily as away from it. A damp crawl in a week of remnants with a working roof is often the field and the contact, not a pipe in the house.
Would gutters help on sand that takes rain so fast?
They keep roof water from loading the contact right at the wall. Sand under the drip line takes a September remnant in immediately, which is exactly how you fill the perch beside the crawl. Discharging well away from the house still matters on a lot that 'drains too well' at the surface. Fast sand is how the water reaches the clay; it is not a reason to dump more of it at the foundation.
