Frequently asked questions
Seventeen inches a year. Why are crawlspaces a winter problem?
Because December is rain on snow on a rock lid. The annual total is modest; the event is a pulse that cannot infiltrate basalt, so it runs to the next opening, which is often a crawlspace. Summer is dry. Winter is when the water arrives.
Vents in the crawlspace were supposed to keep it dry. They seem to wet it.
In December they can. Cold humid air on cold wood is a condensation recipe, and the original 1960s vent idea assumed a climate that dries. Closing vents in the wet season and controlling the air is often the reversal that works on this plateau.
The house is on the plain, not the river. Still a water-table issue?
A perched one, not a river one. Sediment on basalt holds water on top of the rock, and a crawlspace cut into that sediment is in the perched table. The river is a different issue for the terrace lots; the plain has its own.
