Frequently asked questions
Water comes out of the wall itself, not from a crack. Is that normal?
On a cut drumlin it is typical. Till perches December rain and discharges it through the exposed face of the wall as a seep rather than a stream, so there is no single entry point to find. The wall is a discharge surface.
The house is on a hill in one of the villages. Why would the cellar still wet?
The hill is a drumlin. A 1942 cellar was cut into that till and often has no drain on the buried face. December rain in the slope above is still moving after the storm, and that wall is the dam. A village cellar cut into till stays wet after the street dries, which is the drumlin, not a failed gutter alone.
A pocket near the Charles. Is that a flood or a seepage job?
Sometimes flood, more often a water table the river already holds up. A cellar in those pockets can wet on a fair week because the Charles is the local grade. The drumlin seepage job is a different street. South Side pockets near the Charles can wet on a fair week because the river is the local grade; that is not the hill job.
