Frequently asked questions
The big river is on the other side of the ridge. Why is March still wet here?
Because this side drains to Chickamauga Creek, and the ridge sheds onto the houses. A 5.34 inch March is a cold frontal month on clay that cannot evaporate. Dam talk from the gorge does not set the table on this bench. The creek and the cut do. Same valley, opposite water.
A ranch on the flat took water; a ridge house did not. Same March fronts?
Same rain, different path. The flat takes Chickamauga backwater. The ridge house, if it stays dry, sits above the cut line that fails on the next lot down. A wet uphill crawl on the bench is gravity. A wet slab on the flat is the creek. Naming one March storm for both mixes the banks.
Should crawl vents be closed against a wet March?
Closing them traps the ridge seepage under the floor. This 1964 stock needs a path for that air to leave, a ground cover, and the uphill grade off the wall. A vent on the shaded side will look wet; that is the clay breathing in a month with no drying days, not a reason to seal the water in.
