Frequently asked questions
The street did not flood. Why is the slab damp after April rain?
Because the water came from below. Loess soaks at the surface and then sits on a tighter layer, so a slab can take moisture from the ground without a drop crossing the curb. A dry street is not a dry soil column under the house.
This is a 1990s house. Should the crawlspace really stay this humid all summer?
On this silt, yes, unless it is conditioned. Outdoor air from April onward is already wet, and a short crawl on loess has almost no drying interval until autumn. Venting that air through the space adds moisture rather than removing it.
Horn Lake is the next town. Why would that drainage matter here?
The same swale system crosses the city line. After a slow April storm the lowest lots take water that the channel cannot move, and filled-in original swales make that worse. The map of the drainage is older than the subdivision that sits on it.
