Frequently asked questions
Why would a house built in the last twenty years already have drainage trouble?
Usually because of how the lot was made. Building on rolling ground means cutting and filling, and water runs preferentially along the boundary between the disturbed material and the ground it was placed against. That path sits below the surface and ignores the finished grade entirely.
How much does the soil actually decide here?
Most of it. Piedmont clay takes on very little water, so the question is never whether rainfall soaks away but where it is carried instead. Downspouts, swales and grading do work that sandier ground would do by itself, and a single failure among them puts water at the wall.
Does opening the crawlspace vents in July help?
Generally not. Warm, humid outside air entering a cooler space raises the relative humidity rather than lowering it, and moisture condenses on joists and ductwork. Venting assumes the air outside is the drier of the two, which through a Carolina summer it seldom is.
