Frequently asked questions
This is an established suburb. Why is the older stock the wetter stock?
Because age here means time for the ground to work. A 1983 crawlspace has had four decades for loess to pipe along downspout lines and for brick weeps to close, and two thirds of this stock predates 1990. It also sits close to Nonconnah Creek, which overbanks onto these lots when April's 5.88 inches falls on loess that is already wet. Newer pads further out have neither the mature piping nor that channel.
The Greenway is a park. Is it also a water table?
Yes. The Wolf bottoms were left as greenway because they flood. Crawlspaces along that edge sit in the same table. A trail and a mower do not lower it.
Brick weeps on a 1983 house — why open them?
Because they were the only drain the veneer had, and forty years of paint and silt closed them. April splash then wets the cavity and the bottom plate. Opening the weeps is often cheaper than pretending the wall was designed as a sealed box.
