Frequently asked questions
The creek dropped days ago and the buried crawl wall is still wet. Why the lag?
The cut is still draining. Washington Heights lots hold water in the bank behind the wall long after Fourth Creek has fallen, so the buried face runs days behind the channel. On those lots the creek gauge is the wrong thing to watch.
August is the wettest month. Why does a dry week later still show a wet crawl?
Clay holds. August's 4.91 inches loads the cut, and the wall stays in contact with material that does not drain on a forecast's schedule. Opening the vents to August air then adds humidity instead of removing it. Fourth Creek can drop in a day; the red-clay face on Washington Heights cannot.
The cut behind the house keeps the wall wet. Is that fixable?
Manageable rather than fixable. A red-clay cut retains saturated ground against the buried wall, so the wall is doing retaining work as well as enclosing. Drainage behind it helps; removing the hill does not.
