Frequently asked questions
The levee protects the city. Why does the slab still get wet?
Because a levee holds back surface water and does nothing about what moves underground. When bay levels rise, the water table beneath the protected area rises with them by traveling through the clay and sand under the structure. A slab meets that raised table from below. Nothing has come over the levee; the water arrived beneath it.
Nearly sixty-three inches a year on flat ground. Where is it supposed to go?
Mostly into storage and slow drainage rather than runoff, which is why the margin here is thin. With almost no gradient, water leaves by soaking in and by evaporation rather than by flowing away, and the ground it soaks into is already close to full. That is why grade in the first few feet around a slab matters more here than almost anywhere.
Gaps open beside the slab in dry weather. Is that a foundation problem?
It is the clay, and it becomes a water problem at the worst moment. Coastal clay shrinks in a dry spell and pulls away from the slab edge, leaving an open gap. The next heavy rain arrives while that gap is still open and delivers water straight down beside the foundation rather than across the surface. The gap closes afterwards, hiding the route it just provided.
