Frequently asked questions
The basement takes water in April but it barely rained. What is the source?
Snowmelt, arriving as groundwater rather than as rain on your lot. The mountains release over several weeks, the valley water table rises in response, and basements below that level take water through the wall-floor joint. Checking a rain gauge will not explain it because the precipitation fell months earlier and uphill.
Does a dry climate reduce mold risk indoors?
It reduces the ambient contribution and increases the odds a problem goes unnoticed. Growth needs surface moisture, not humid air, so a leak inside a wall proceeds normally. What the dry climate removes is the warning signs a wetter place would give you, which tends to mean later discovery.
Is seventeen inches of precipitation enough to justify waterproofing?
The annual figure is the wrong measure here. What loads a basement wall is how long the surrounding soil stays saturated, and a concentrated melt season does that as effectively as steady rain would. Properties near the mouths of the canyons see it most reliably.
