Capillary Rise of Ground Moisture : Moisture travels upward by capillary action--as much as 14 to 18 gallons per day have been noted under a 1, 000 square-foot house--and evaporates within the crawl space. Capillary rise occurs in nearly all areas where the soil is clay or silt. Capillary action is the effect of surface tension that causes water to rise up a narrow tube, against the effect of gravity. In building construction, capillary action can occur between two surfaces placed together, or within porous materials. This relates to the installation of wood flooring in that moisture can be drawn through both the subfloor and the concrete below it. 4, record 7, English, - capillary%20rise%20of%20soil%20moisture
