Frequently asked questions
One clogged drain wet three floors. How?
They share a conductor stack. Harbor-side mill blocks run a single vertical drain for several decks, so one blockage backs water into every level tied to it. The failure is in the shared pipe, not in three separate roofs.
Salem is next along the shore. Same October mill job?
Same month, different harbor. Lynn is a working mill grid on a shallow harbor and the Saugus. Salem's neck and its own mill story are not this combined-system bowl. Sharing a gauge at Marblehead is not sharing a cellar. The Saugus and the harbor outfalls are the local half.
The house is up the hill from the harbor. Is October still a cellar month?
As surcharge, less so. As freeze-up, yes — October rain is still in the till when the ground locks, and the downhill wall takes that pry in spring. You have left the harbor and kept the North Shore winter. That is a different wet wall.
