Frequently asked questions
The canal is some distance away. Why does it set the level in this cellar?
Because the whole plain drains to it. When the canal stage is up the table under these bungalows rises with it, so a May cell has nowhere to go downward. Proximity is not what matters; the shared outlet is.
The neighbor's roof failed and our unit got wet. How?
The wall is shared. In a party-wall two-flat, water entering at one roof runs the shared masonry and cavity into the next address, so damage appears in a building with nothing wrong on top of it. Ownership stops at the wall; the water does not.
The canal is a shipping channel. Why would it wet a bungalow cellar?
It sets the outlet and the table. When May rain loads sewers that dump toward that stage, the unused capacity is a 1938 floor drain. You do not need a lake flood to feel the canal. The Island and Southtown cellars take that stage; a shipping channel still sets the unused capacity on a May afternoon.
