Frequently asked questions
Doors started binding after a wet spell. Water or structure?
On a hillside here, potentially both, and they are related. Saturated fill loses strength and moves, and the movement opens paths for more water. Binding doors, new corner cracks or a retaining wall leaning after prolonged rain are worth treating as slope indicators rather than cosmetic settling.
Why does a narrow valley make ordinary rain worse?
Because it concentrates it. Water shedding off steep ground on both sides converges on the small amount of flat ground the town occupies, arriving quickly and with little chance to infiltrate on the way. The same rainfall spread across open terrain would disperse harmlessly.
Is the uphill basement wall always the wet one?
Usually, on a cut lot. That wall retains saturated ground rather than simply enclosing the space, so it carries hydrostatic pressure the downhill side never sees. One consistently wet wall on a sloped site is a drainage signature rather than a construction defect.
