Frequently asked questions
The soil is red and rolling. Shouldn't it drain?
Saprolite drains when it is open and then seals when a hot July bakes the surface. The next cell hits a crust, not a sponge. Water that should have soaked ten feet from the downspout instead runs the yard into the crawlspace vent on the low side.
Why is July the wettest month here rather than a tropical September?
This side of the Piedmont takes summer heat-driven cells rather than tropical remnants. A crawlspace is wetted by short bursts all summer, which makes it a humidity problem as much as a flooding one, and it never gets a dry interval to recover in.
The weepholes in the brick are stained orange. Is that the leak?
It is the clay leaving. Water moving down the cavity behind the veneer carries saprolite fines out the weepholes. The stain means the cavity is wet, not that the brick itself failed. Clearing the holes and finding why the cavity is taking water are the next steps.
