Frequently asked questions
The house has not flooded. Why is the crawlspace wetter than it was twenty years ago?
Because the land has dropped. Subsidence here is measured in inches per decade, which is enough to put a 1964 slab into a water table it was poured above. The house did not sink in a storm; the ground it sits on slowly lost elevation relative to the tide.
This is not Nebraska's Norfolk. Does that matter for a moisture job?
Completely. This Norfolk is tidal Hampton Roads on subsiding fill; the other is an Elkhorn River prairie town. The name is a coincidence. Treating them as the same climate or the same housing problem would invert both the water source and the season.
A tropical rainband, not a named hurricane. Still a building issue?
Yes. August remnants deliver the year's heaviest month, often with wind, onto lots that already have almost no freeboard above the tide. A named storm is not required for a crawlspace here to take water from below and from the side in the same afternoon.
