Frequently asked questions
December rain reaches under the house almost immediately. Why so fast?
The loess cracked in the fall. Memphis silt opens as it dries and leaves a path under crawls and slabs, so December rain does not have to soak in, it drops straight through. Speed is the signature of the crack, not of the storm.
The silt is dry and cracked in October. Why worry about December?
Those cracks are still open when December arrives. The year's last big pulse runs the openings to the footing instead of sheeting off a sealed surface. Fall drought is what sets the winter leak. Seal the silt before December if you can; once the pulse runs the cracks, the crawl is already charged for winter.
A downspout stain on the silt face. Is that only cosmetic?
On loess, no. Concentrated water pipes a void behind the stain, and the next December pulse uses that void. Spreading the discharge is cheaper than a surprise hole at the footing. Spread the downspout; a stain on this loess is often the start of a pipe, not a splash that will dry in the next sun.
