Frequently asked questions
Somerville is a mile away and shares this gauge. Why write our moisture differently?
The ground is different. Somerville's low blocks are filled marsh under triple-deckers; this city's river edge is mill fill and canal at the Charles's grade, and the inland blocks are brick rows. The winter peak is shared. The path the water takes is not, and the two pages are written so that difference survives a swap test.
A basement along Memorial Drive is wet when the river is high and the sky is clear. Rain?
The Charles. Mill fill is porous to the river, and a basement there is a hole at river grade. A clear-sky high-water day is the signature. Pumps and a sealed wall help; waiting for a storm to explain it does not.
A brick row. The leak appears two parlors from the obvious roof problem. Typical?
Typical of continuous masonry. Water follows the top of a joist or a flue and exits where the plaster is weakest, often a unit that did not own the failed flashing. The wet parlor is the exit. The source is a walk along the block's gutters and parapets.
