Frequently asked questions
September remnants sound like a coastal problem. Why does a Piedmont borough take them?
Because the gauge peaks in September here too. A 5.11 inch month of leftover tropical rain hits thin silt over rock that will not store it, and a 1986 split-level cut into the slope takes the sheet at the buried wall. Tide is not required. Gravity on residual soil is enough.
The lower level is wet; the upstairs is not. Roof or slope?
Slope, if the stain is at the buried wall. A 1986 split-level puts a finished room at the seepage line. A roof stain is at the ceiling. The wet line on the exterior, uphill side, is the diagnostic. Remnants just make a month of it. The cut was the opening.
Would a deeper footer drain fix thin soil over rock?
Only if it has somewhere to outlet. On siltstone the water is already on the rock surface, and a drain that dumps back onto the same slope recharges the uphill wall. Carry the discharge past the house, not just to the corner. Depth without a path is a wetter trench.
