Frequently asked questions
Eleven inches a year. Is indoor moisture really a concern on this coast?
The total is not the event. A few February storms deliver most of it onto hard ground, and canyon lots concentrate what the mesa will not absorb. Dry months also hide a slab leak, because nothing smells damp until the colony is well along, and the marine layer keeps cavities humid even when the gauge is at zero.
The house sits on the mesa, not in the canyon. Still a runoff problem?
The mesa sheds; the canyon receives. A lot on the rim is the top of someone else's catchment, and a poorly graded pad will send the February storm into the downhill unit or the garage even if the street looks dry. Elevation on a dissected mesa is not the same as being out of the water's path.
Floors feel dry. Is the crawl still worth opening after the first storm?
Yes. Raised perimeters here are often poorly vented, so the space under the floor holds moisture the rooms above never show. Subfloor and joists can stay damp for weeks after a February storm while the finished floor reads normal underfoot.
