Frequently asked questions
The house was rebuilt after a storm. Why is the crawlspace still a problem?
Because the ground did not get rebuilt. New framing on the same sand still sits over a water table the Sound keeps high, and a 63-inch climate does not dry a crawlspace between storms. Elevation of the first floor helps the surge; it does not lower the water under the house.
No flood, just a tropical rainband. Still a building issue?
Yes. Wind-driven rain tests eaves, gable vents, and window heads that ordinary afternoon storms never push that hard. A stain after a tropical system is often a detailing failure, not a surge, and it can be a floor above any flood map.
Is the smell in a closed room in July a leak?
Not always. Summer air here is wet enough that an unconditioned room or a closet on an exterior wall can support growth with no liquid water event. A moisture meter tells you whether you are looking for a leak or for a humidity problem, and the two have different repairs.
