Frequently asked questions
What does the tide have to do with rain flooding my street?
Drainage here works by gravity to tidal water, so when the tide is high the outfall has less fall to work with and the system drains slowly or not at all. Identical rainfall at low tide often causes no problem. It is the coincidence of the two that produces the worst events.
Is a crawlspace practical this close to sea level?
It is common here, but it needs managing rather than ignoring. With a shallow water table the space under the floor sits close to permanently damp ground, so vapor control and mechanical drying do most of the work. Ventilation alone moves humid coastal air through a humid space.
Does salt air matter for water damage?
It matters for what the water damages. Coastal air accelerates corrosion of fasteners, flashing and mechanical components, so a detail that would last decades inland degrades faster here. Flashing failures are a frequent entry point for exactly that reason.
