Frequently asked questions
The soil is sand and the bungalow still takes water. How?
Sand pipes it. Once the older drains clog, outwash carries water under the house instead of away from it, so a well-draining soil becomes the delivery route. Sand moves water very efficiently in whichever direction it happens to be going.
The Red Cedar stayed in its banks. Why is a Bailey crawl still wet?
Banks are a flood story. The table is a groundwater story. A wet May holds the Red Cedar up under the campus plats, and a crawl on that floodplain is in the same pool. A calm surface is not a low table.
Whitehills is up the sand. Is the river still involved?
As a table, less so. As a drain, yes. Outwash pipes May rain under those bungalows toward the Red Cedar, and a clogged tile turns the crawl into the next pipe. The river job is campus. The piping job is the sand.
