Frequently asked questions
The ditches here were dug for farms. Can they handle a town?
Not in July. They were sized for fields that absorbed most of what fell, and they now receive a town's worth of roofs and pavement, so the same channel carries far more than it was cut for. The capacity never changed.
Hilton Head is also Lowcountry. Is a lagoon slab the same as a pocosin slab?
No. Hilton Head is a barrier island with tidal lagoons. Summerville is inland sand and filled wetlands with no tide. July rain here perches in a pocosin, not in a salt table. Treating the Lowcountry as one moisture climate misses the island-versus-pine split.
The house is from 2001. Why is a wet slab still the story on sand?
Sand over a filled wetland is not a drain. A 2001 slab on a pocosin sits in perched July water the plat called upland. New construction does not un-fill a wetland, and a supply-line leak under that slab still hides while the yard looks dry.
