Frequently asked questions
Why would older neighborhoods sit on worse ground?
Because they were sited for a different purpose. Mill villages were built close to the water that powered the mill, which put housing on the lowest ground in the immediate area. That logic made sense industrially and left a legacy of older stock in the least favourable drainage position.
What does Piedmont clay mean in practice?
That drainage has to be built rather than assumed. This clay absorbs very little, so nearly everything that falls has to be carried away on the surface. Where a sandy site would forgive an imperfect downspout, clay converts the same mistake directly into water against the foundation.
The crawlspace is damp but never floods. Does that need attention?
It does. Sustained high humidity supports growth on joists and subfloor with no liquid water ever present, and the first sign is usually smell rather than sight. The absence of standing water is not evidence that the space is dry enough to leave alone.
