Frequently asked questions
Seventeen inches of precipitation. Where is basement water coming from?
The mountains, arriving as groundwater rather than as rain on the lot. Snowpack at elevation releases over weeks and lifts the valley water table, so a basement can take water in a month with almost no local rainfall recorded. A rain gauge will not explain the timing.
What does lake-bed sediment do that ordinary valley fill does not?
It holds water. Silts and clays deposited in still water are exceptionally fine and drain slowly, so moisture reaching a foundation through them lingers rather than dispersing. The mountains around the valley drain quickly; the floor they drain onto does not.
Do winter inversions affect anything indoors?
They remove the drying capacity a normal winter would supply. Cold air settles in the valley and stays, air movement drops to almost nothing, and humidity stays up. Anything damp in a crawlspace or basement stays damp for far longer than the temperature alone would suggest.
