Frequently asked questions
The yard dries fast. Why does the crawl stay wet into May?
The sand is a lid, not the whole profile. April soaks through it and stops on the clay pan, so the crawl sits in a perched layer while the grass looks fine. That layer does not leave until heat and a real dry spell pull it down, which a 61-inch year does not offer in a hurry. A dry yard in this belt is not a dry crawl. The pan sets the clock.
Should we seal the skirting to keep rain out of a crawl this low?
Sealing it keeps the April moisture in. These crawls are already close to a perched pan, and tight skirting traps the humid air against pine that has been in this climate since the 1960s. Vents, a ground cover, and a few extra inches of fall away from the piers do more than a seal. Rain is not coming in through the skirting as a flood; the ground is wetting the floor from below.
Almost every house in town is from before 1990. Does that change what fails first?
It means the paper, the skirting, and the pier details are all the same age in the same humidity. April finds the first split in felt or the first rotten skirt board, and those failures cluster because the stock clustered. A dry house on the block is often one that already got a cover on the crawl soil and some vents, not one that somehow missed a 6-inch month.
