Frequently asked questions
This valley gets eight inches of rain. How is moisture a problem at all?
Because most of the water is delivered rather than fallen. Canal laterals leak into these crawlspaces right through the dormant season, so the ground stays charged in a climate that barely rains. The rain gauge measures the smaller half.
The canal is a few lots over. Why would that wet this crawlspace?
Unlined and older lined laterals leak into the same ash. Water moves sideways on the perched layer and shows up a block away. Turning the canal off in October helps; it does not empty the ground the leak already filled. Union Gap and Selah lots see the same lateral table; the leak does not stop at the field edge.
A warm December storm on a snowpack. Is that a flood or a crawl job?
Both, on different streets. The river takes the headline on the lowest blocks. Off the channel the same storm sits on frozen ash and wets a crawl that never saw overbank flow. Do not wait on a flood crest to look at the vents. Look at the vents on a frozen-ash week even if the river never made the news; those crawls do not wait on a crest.
