Frequently asked questions
Ten inches a year. How is mold even a conversation?
Because the Humboldt and the ditches are the water, not the gauge. May melt and summer irrigation wet assemblies in a climate that will then not dry them, because the air is dry but the ground is not. A crawlspace can sit damp for weeks after a ditch leak while the sky stays empty.
The Rubies still have snow in May. Does that reach town?
As the river, yes. Melt leaves the range, the Humboldt rises, and valley fill next to it takes that water. A house that never sees a rainstorm can wet in May because a mountain range it cannot see is thawing. The local climate chart will not show that peak.
A crack at the slab edge opened in September and leaked in May. Same crack?
Usually. Valley clay shrinks hard in the dry months and the slab edge opens; May melt then has an inlet. Sealing the crack without draining the ditch or the fan just waits for the next shrink. The calendar of the clay is the calendar of the leak.
