Frequently asked questions
Why does the same December front wet one side of town and not the other?
Because the contact runs through the city. Pontotoc Ridge sand takes the rain and passes it along; Black Prairie chalk perches it. A crawl on clay can stay wet for weeks while a ridge slab dries in days. The front is the same. The ground is not.
December is an odd wettest month. What does a winter peak do that a summer storm does not?
It lands on cold ground that will not dry. A July cell can be heavier and still leave, because heat pulls the moisture out. December's 5.9 inches sits, and a mild winter then keeps the crawl in that wet for months instead of a week.
Is a 1981 crawl on prairie clay built to drain?
Rarely. That era set many of these houses on native soil with open joists and no barrier. The clay holds a water table against the floor system, and December rain adds to a reservoir that was already there. The fix is ground and air, not a coating on the joists.
