Frequently asked questions
Why do basement problems appear in March rather than October?
Because the autumn water never left. It froze in the ground, the winter's freeze-thaw widened joints, and the March melt then supplies volume into larger openings. The failure looks sudden but has been assembling since the wettest month of the previous year.
A leak upstairs damaged my ceiling. How does scope work in a triple-decker?
It follows the water rather than the ownership boundary. The floor assembly is continuous, so water from an upper unit arrives below through the structure itself. Establishing source and extent has to come before the responsibility conversation, or the repair is scoped to the wrong area.
Do valley terrace soils behave differently from ordinary fill?
They tend to be finer, having been deposited by slow water, so they drain slowly and hold moisture well. Water reaching a foundation through them lingers rather than dispersing, which is why pressure on a wall persists here after the surface has visibly dried.
