Frequently asked questions
The house sits on solid rock. Should that not keep it dry?
Rock will not take water in. Granite ledge perches March rain and moves it sideways against the downhill wall, so a house on ledge sheds onto itself rather than draining. Solid ground is not absorbent ground.
The house is on granite. Why would a basement on rock still get wet in March?
Because the rock is a lid. Rain that cannot go down goes along, and a house cut into ledge retains that flow against the downhill wall. Granite solves a soaking problem and creates a shedding problem.
Squantum is not a beach lot. Why would the tide still set the basement?
Fill. The cove was filled, not lifted, so a tidal table still moves through that material. A basement here can take harbor-influenced groundwater on the tide's schedule without a wave ever reaching the street.
