Frequently asked questions
Why is January wetter than the hurricane months?
Frontal systems supply more rainfall here than tropical ones do, and they deliver it steadily over hours. That timing is the harder part: winter rain meets dormant vegetation and minimal evaporation, so the ground retains far more of it than the same amount would in September.
Sandy soil is supposed to drain. Why does water stand?
Because only the top layer is sandy. Below it the material is tighter, so infiltration is quick until the shallow zone fills and then largely stops. In a sixty-inch year that zone fills often, after which the ground behaves like clay regardless of what the first spade of soil looked like.
The crawlspace is never flooded but always damp. Is that a problem?
Yes. Sustained humidity supports growth on joists and subfloor without any liquid water present, and in this climate the space rarely gets a chance to dry out. Sealing it and running dehumidification addresses the actual condition rather than waiting for visible water.
