Frequently asked questions
Newer house, so fewer moisture problems in Charlotte?
Not necessarily, just different ones. Older housing tends to leak in obvious places; newer housing is tighter, which means when moisture does get into an assembly it has fewer ways out. A vented crawlspace under a 1998 house can hold humidity all summer without anything upstairs looking wrong.
What does the clay soil actually do to a house here?
It refuses water. Piedmont clay absorbs slowly, so rain runs across the surface toward whatever is lowest, which on many lots is the crawlspace vent or the foundation wall. It also holds what it does take up, keeping the ground against a foundation damp long after the storm.
Do hurricanes matter this far from the coast?
The wind rarely does much by the time a system reaches the Piedmont, but the rain does. A decaying tropical system can stall and deliver several inches onto ground that is already saturated, and inland flooding from that pattern damages more houses here than wind ever has.
