Frequently asked questions
The same storm raises the river and fills the crawl. Which one matters more?
They act together. The crawl cannot discharge while the river is up from that same rain, so water landing on the lot has nowhere to go until the terrace can drain. One event, two constraints.
The yard is sand. Why does water stand after an August storm?
Sand over clay. The top takes the burst; the lens underneath will not. What looks like well-drained ground is a shallow perched table, and a slab on that lot is sitting on a bowl that August fills. Regrading to the street is the usual miss, because the water is already under the house.
Does a 1988 ranch fail the same way as the older river houses?
No. The ranch is a slab on the sandhill, wet from below when the clay perches. The river houses are crawlspaces and basements on the terrace, wet when the Savannah backs the drains. One storm, two mechanisms, and a mixed median year that hides the split.
