Frequently asked questions
Why is September worse than the summer storm months?
Because of what arrives with the rain. Summer storms are convective and brief, and the ground and the bay are usually where they were before. A September system brings sustained onshore wind, which pushes bay water up against this shore at the same time as it drops several inches of rain. The rain has nowhere to drain to because the level it drains toward has risen.
Newer construction here is barely above grade. Is that a problem?
It reduces the margin that matters most on this ground. A slab set a few inches above a grade that is itself near bay level has very little room before water is at the edge, and the elevation that was adequate in ordinary weather is the same elevation during a wind tide. Where the pad cannot be raised, keeping water from collecting against it becomes the whole strategy.
Does salt air really affect a wall, or is that overstated?
It is real and it is mostly about drying time. Salt drawn into a porous wall face holds moisture at the surface, so a seaward wall stays damp noticeably longer after each wetting than the same wall on the sheltered side. Over a season that adds up to far more hours wet, which is what determines whether a material stays sound rather than the number of storms.
