Frequently asked questions
Ten inches a year. Why would August still open a slab?
Because gypsum and fan gravel do not need a wet climate. They need one soaking. August's 1.96 inches on this basin is enough to collapse a gypsum pocket or swell a clay lens, and the rest of the year being dry is what opens the roof joints the same cell then uses.
White Sands is west of town. Is gypsum under the house a real path?
On the basin floor, yes. Gypsum in the soil can dissolve or collapse when it wets, leaving a void under a 1980 slab. The dunes are the visible end of that chemistry; the quieter end is a hollow at the footing after an August burst.
Irrigation in a desert town — is that a larger input than the rain?
On the fan toes, often. A scheduled set puts more water against a slab in one evening than August's whole normal. Whether it is a problem depends on grade and the gypsum under the lot, not on the rainfall total that makes irrigation look harmless.
