Frequently asked questions
Kent is a few miles inland. Why is this bluff a different moisture problem?
Kent sits on the Green River floor. This stock sits on a till bluff above Puget Sound. November rain here does not meet a floodplain water table; it perches in glacial clay and comes out the cut face. The Sound also drives rain sideways into siding that a valley lot never sees.
Water is coming out of the hillside itself. What is that?
A till seep. Admiralty till is a clay that water cannot cross easily, so rainfall moves sideways on top of it and exits wherever a builder cut the slope. A daylight wall is that cut. The seep can run from November into spring with no plumbing failure at all. Marine View and Redondo Highlands houses see this seep all winter; it is the till, not a failed pipe.
A crawlspace in a ravine. Is the Sound still the issue?
The Sound sets the wind. The ravine sets the water. Hylebos drainage collects the bluff's whole wet season into a narrow slot, and a manufactured pad in that slot is sitting in a creek bed even when the weather is only drizzle. A pad in a Hylebos slot can stay wet from November through April on drizzle alone, with the Sound only adding wind.
