Washington, DC sits on clay and piedmont soils and has a humid climate with about 40–44" of precipitation a year. The local water table is higher near the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, with moderate winter freeze–thaw cycling, and older row homes with full basements are common. In practical terms, river-adjacent moisture and freeze–thaw drive basement seepage in older homes — which is exactly why radon mitigation is a common need here.
