Frequently asked questions
The ridge is behind us and the water arrives at the front wall. Why?
The ridges shed onto the plain. Trap rock gives up April rain almost entirely, and it runs downhill onto filled harbor ground where the table already moves with the tide. A cellar on that fill takes both at once.
The house is a triple-decker. A leak on the third floor wet the first. How far can it travel?
The length of a joist and a stack. Floor framing is continuous, so water runs horizontally and then drops at a chase, often a room or two away from the fault. The stain is the exit. The source is frequently not in the room that is wet.
A cellar on the harbor fill is wet at high tide on a dry day. Rain?
Tide. Fill over former dock and mill ground is porous to the harbor, and a cellar there is a hole in that fill. A sunny high tide is the signature. A storm can add to it; it is not required.
