Why storm season matters in Monroe
The remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes that cross the Carolina Piedmont from August to October can drop several inches of rain on Union County in a day. The heavy Carolina Slate Belt clay under Monroe absorbs little of it, so water runs off toward foundations, crawl space vents and low spots.
- Creeks. Homes near Richardson Creek, Bearskin Creek and their branches see water first when creeks leave their banks.
- Crawl spaces. Vented crawl spaces take in runoff through vents and low block courses.
- Grading and gutters. Short downspouts and yards that slope toward the house send roof water straight to the foundation.
- Roofs. Sideways rain finds worn flashing and lifted shingles.
If storm water already got in, see tropical storm flood cleanup and crawl space water damage. The Ready.gov hurricane page covers household storm preparation.
