Frequently asked questions
Can a wet crawlspace here have a source that is not on my property?
On karst it frequently does. Limestone moves water through open conduits instead of filtering it evenly through soil, so what enters the rock on one ridge can leave it on another. Grading your own lot corrects what falls on it and nothing about what travels beneath it.
The yard has a low spot that swallows water and then stops. What is happening?
The feature below it has filled. A closed depression on this ground usually sits over a solution opening with finite capacity, and once the conduit is charged the surface has nowhere left to drain. Plugging the hole without knowing what it feeds tends to move the water rather than remove it.
Why is December wetter than the summer months?
The heaviest rainfall here is frontal rather than convective, and winter systems deliver sustained rain over hours. It matters because that peak coincides with minimum evaporation and dormant vegetation, so the ground retains far more of it than an equivalent July storm.
