Frequently asked questions
There is no town drainage. Where does an August storm actually go on a lot like this?
Down the shale to the river, unless a crawl is in the way. Argillite here does not soak; it sheds. A house cut into the wall is a dam for that sheet, and August is when the sheet is thickest. Bottom lots add the river's table. There is no curb inlet to surcharge. The repair is grade, gutters, and keeping the septic outflow off the same seam, not a municipal pipe.
The septic is downhill toward the river. Can it still wet a crawl upslope?
If a seam in the shale dips toward the house, yes. These beds are thin and folded, so 'downhill' on the grass is not always downhill in the rock. August already wets those seams; field outflow adds to them. A damp crawl after a wet week with a sound roof is worth tracing as a seam problem, not only as a river problem.
Would a bigger gutter run change an August that is really a hillside seep?
It keeps roof water from joining the seep at the same wall. Five inches off a 1990s roof is a real extra load on a cut that is already weeping. Discharge that water to the river side of the lot, not onto the uphill face, and the seep has less help. Gutters will not stop the shale from sweating; they will stop you from pouring the storm onto the sweat.
