Frequently asked questions
Water seems to arrive from opposite sides of the lot. Is that possible?
On a peninsula this low, yes. Two tidal bodies can set the same lot's water table from opposite directions, so which side is wet depends on the tide rather than on the grading. The lot has two shorelines.
The house is in Fox Hill, not on the beach. Is Buckroe still relevant?
As surf, no. As elevation, yes. Fox Hill is the same low sand sheet, just inland of the bay. A crawlspace there shares the Back River table, and a July cell on a high tide wets it from below the same way a Buckroe cottage takes spray from above. Different entry, same water.
Wartime housing on fill. What did they leave out?
A break between the floor and the ground. Fill was placed, a slab or crawl was set on it, and the job moved on. There is often no capillary break and no drain, so the fill's water table is the floor's water table. Drying the surface does not change what the tide is doing underneath.
