Frequently asked questions
January is the wettest month. What does a winter peak do that a summer one does not?
It wets a basement that then cannot dry. A Gulf July peak arrives with heat that pulls moisture out. A Coosa January peak arrives with cold, short days, and the next front a few days later. The mill stock on the flats takes 5.7 inches and holds it. The season is the mechanism.
The house is on the mountain toe, not the Coosa. Is the river still involved?
As flood, no. As the outlet, yes — everything on that toe drains to the Coosa, and a winter cell that the flats cannot take will back up the street drains toward the toe. The house also has its own problem: the cut above it seeps. Two paths, one wet month.
Is a 1959 mill basement expected to keep winter rain out?
It was expected to keep the river out on a normal year, not to be a dry living space. There is often no drain tile and no damp-proofing on fill. January rain on that assembly is a test it was not drawn for. The fix is drainage, not a coating on the inside of a rubble wall.
