Frequently asked questions
The damage is right at the edge of the slab. Why there?
Because that is where the clay opens. Houston Black pulls back at the slab edge, so an October storm enters under the brick at the perimeter instead of anywhere in the middle. The edge is the seam, and the seam is the door.
The swale behind these houses has no actual channel. Where does water go?
Onto the next lot. Without a cut channel the swale is only a low line between pads, so an October cell ponds and passes from property to property toward the river. The drainage is a sequence of yards.
The clay cracked in August. Why does the October stain show up later?
August opens the joint. October fills it. Houston Black does the damage in two seasons: shrink, then storm. Closing the crack after October does not dry the load already under the 1991 stem. August opens Houston Black; October is when that joint finally takes a storm.
