Frequently asked questions
The house is from the boom. Why would frost already have wrecked a corner?
Because frost does not wait for a house to age. Several feet of frost against clay will heave a 2005 wall the same way it heaves a 1955 wall, and boom construction sometimes put shallow foundations on soils that needed deeper ones. The timetable is the climate's, not the builder's warranty.
We are up on the break, not in the floodplain. Does that keep the house dry?
It keeps you out of the channel, not off the slope. Breaks shed snowmelt along the contour, and the uphill wall of a house on that slope retains it for weeks. Elevation answers the flood question and leaves the drainage question entirely open, which is the one that actually wets a 2003 basement.
The crawlspace was closed in November. Open it in March?
Earlier if you can. A six-month closure in this climate traps whatever moisture was in the ground at freeze-up, and March is when that moisture is still there and the air outside is finally able to take some of it. Waiting until May is waiting through the worst of it.
