Frequently asked questions
Almost fifty-eight inches a year. Is a dry crawl space realistic here?
Yes, but it depends on interception rather than on the total. Most of that water never needs to reach the house; it is moving downslope through the upper soil and only becomes a problem where a foundation sits in its path. Cutting it off above the house and giving it a route around is what makes the difference, and that works regardless of how much falls.
Why is winter the wet season rather than summer?
This part of the state gets its heaviest rain from winter frontal systems rather than from summer convection, and the practical effect is worse than the same total in July. Winter rain falls on cold ground during the shortest days of the year, so almost none of it evaporates. Each event adds to a load that does not come back down until spring.
Does a slab or a crawl space handle this better?
They fail differently rather than one being clearly better. A crawl on a slope takes water at the uphill wall and then holds humid air under the floor through a long wet season. A slab takes it at the perimeter and moves it up through the pad. What decides the outcome is where the foundation sits relative to the water moving downhill, not which type it is.
