Frequently asked questions
Most of the South peaks in summer. Why does December matter here?
The Blue Ridge wrings winter storms on this side of the divide. Five inches in December lands on cold clay with no evaporation. A summer cell would be followed by heat that dries a crawlspace; a December front is followed by another front. The total looks Southern; the timing is Appalachian.
The house is on a ridge, not in the gorge. Still a Reedy problem?
The gorge is the outlet. Ridge clay sheds into swales that feed the Reedy, and a downhill slab can take that runoff without ever seeing the river. The gorge houses take the river; the ridge houses take the path to it.
A mill cottage crawlspace in January. What is actually wet?
The ground and the joists. Cold clay, no barrier, vents closed against the chill, and December's water still in the soil. Closing the vents to save heat is how a winter wet season turns into a spring smell. The assembly needs to breathe or it needs a barrier; it rarely has either.
