Frequently asked questions
How can a river peak weeks after the storm?
Because the system is flat and slow. A blackwater river draining swampy country moves water gradually rather than flushing it, so rainfall works its way down over an extended period. The danger arrives long after the weather has cleared and everyone has stopped watching.
Does that slowness make it easier or harder to deal with?
Both. There is far more warning than a flash flood gives, which is genuinely useful. But the water also stays for a long time once it arrives, and prolonged saturation does more damage to a building than a brief inundation of the same depth.
The crawlspace has a ground barrier and is still damp. What is missing?
Air control. A barrier stops evaporation from the soil but does nothing about humid outside air entering through vents and condensing on cooler framing. Closing the space to outside air and dehumidifying addresses the half a barrier cannot reach.
