Frequently asked questions
October is over. Why is the buried face of a Housatonic lot still wet?
That face is holding the hillside, not the river. Rain that entered the till and rock above the house is still moving downslope days later. The Derby dam sets the flood question for the lowest mill blocks; the cut slope sets the seepage question, and they are not the same job.
Does the old dam change a cellar that never floods?
It can. A pool behind a dam raises the local water table on the terrace even when the river is inside its banks. A cellar drain that used to daylight now sits below the pool elevation, so it becomes an inlet. The house does not have to take overbank water to take that groundwater.
A rubble foundation on a steep lot. What actually fails first?
The uphill joints. There is often no tile and no way to add one without taking the neighbor's yard. Water in the cut works mortar and stone apart over a long October-to-April season, and the first stain is usually that buried face, not the river side.
