Frequently asked questions
The slab has settled unevenly. Is the water causing that, or the other way round?
Both, in sequence. Fill over pluff mud compresses as it wets, and the settlement then perches August rain against the slab, so each makes the other worse. It is one process rather than two problems.
The tract is not on the Cooper. Why would a storm tide still show up?
Goose Creek and the ditches are the Cooper's fingers. A storm tide raises all of them, and a 2002 slab on fill is sitting in that raised table. You do not need a dock to feel the river. Hanahan-side tracts feel the same fingers of the Cooper; a dock is not required for a storm-tide table.
The vents are open and the crawl is still damp. Should we close them?
Open vents are part of what is wetting it. In August they pull saturated air onto wood that is cooler than the air, so moisture condenses inside rather than leaving. Ventilation helps in a dry climate and hurts in this one.
