Frequently asked questions
The soil is sandy. Why does water sit rather than drain?
Because the sand is not continuous downward. Coastal-plain ground here alternates between sandy and clay-rich beds, and water moving down through the sand stops when it reaches clay. From there it spreads sideways at that depth. The surface looks well drained the entire time, which is why the water arriving at a foundation seems to come from nowhere.
Why does my house take water when the identical one nearby does not?
Because the clay beds are not flat sheets; they thin, thicken and end. One lot may have clay at four feet and the next at twelve, which puts one slab in the perched water and the other well above it. Same builder, same year, same grade — the difference is a layer neither owner can see.
Is there any point regrading on ground this flat?
Yes, because the first few feet matter more than the overall fall. On flat ground you are not trying to carry water far, only to stop it standing against the foundation while it soaks in. A modest, well-maintained slope in the immediate perimeter changes where the water sits during the hours after a storm, and that is usually where the damage is done.
