Frequently asked questions
The soil is gravel. Why is the crawlspace wet in November?
Because gravel is only the top. Vashon outwash sits on a hardpan that will not take 9.37 inches. Water perches on that pan and finds the crawl. A perc test from a dry July does not describe November. A perc test from a dry July does not describe November on this pan.
This is outwash prairie. Why does it not drain?
There is a hardpan underneath. Vashon till sits below the gravel and stops November rain a few feet down, so ground that looks ideal perches instead. The surface tells you nothing about what is happening at the pan.
A 1996 house is not old. Why would November wet it?
New is not drained. Builder lots on this prairie often send downspouts to the next property line, and the pan makes that line a pond. Age of the roof is not the diagnosis; the grade and the pan are.
