Frequently asked questions
Twelve inches a year is a desert. Why would a May cell still load a slab in Idlewild?
Because almost the whole year arrives in a few thunderstorms, and the covering has been baking since September. Gaps that were not there in April take the first cell. Caliche then sheds what the roof did not, into a playa that has no outlet. A dry climate here does not stay sealed; it opens and then soaks all at once.
There is a low spot behind the house that holds water. Is it meant to be a drain?
No, and that is the trouble. Oil-pad caliche depressions were never graded as drainage, so a May storm ponds in one and simply waits. It looks like a drain and behaves like a basin.
The playa is dry in January. Is the caliche still in the slab in May?
January can be empty. May cannot. The job is seasonal: a slab that is fine through winter and wet at the plate after the first thunderstorm is a playa-and-caliche story, not a roof story, and opening the attic first in Idlewild will waste the visit on a covering that did not fail.
