Frequently asked questions
The falls are a park. How do they change a cellar in the old grid?
They remove the river's unused capacity. A crest that would pass a deeper reach here has nowhere to drop, so groundwater in the alluvium rises first. A cellar in the port grid can seep with the bank still holding. The park is the geology, not just the view.
We sit on the upper terrace, not the river streets. Is April still a river job?
Often not. Up there the clay perches local rain, and the Ohio can be a mile away and irrelevant. A wet crawlspace on that terrace is a perched-water job. Treating every April call in this city as the falls wastes the diagnosis.
A rubble cellar in the port grid. Was it built to drain to the river?
It was built to drain, and the river is now the reason it cannot. When April occupies the outlet, the cellar drain becomes an inlet. Interior coatings will not stop a pipe that is running backward. The fix is a check and a pump, not a paint.
