Frequently asked questions
The Deschutes falls are downstream. How do they matter to a crawlspace uphill?
They mark the point the river meets a tide it cannot push. November rain plus a high Sound means the outlet is closed, and the backup shows in the flats, not at the falls. An uphill till lot is a different job — that water is coming down the bench, not up the river.
We sit on fill near the inlet. Is that still a rain problem?
It is a tide problem that rain makes worse. Fill over marsh stays charged from the Sound. November then adds what the ground cannot take. A crawlspace there can smell damp in a dry week because the tide is the standing source; the storm is the extra.
The house is on a till bench. Should the inlet still be checked?
As a destination, yes. Every roof and yard on that bench is a catchment for the next lot down. A downspout that ends at the property line is discharging onto someone else's foundation whether anyone intended it. The inlet is where that water wants to go; the wet wall is where it is delayed.
