Frequently asked questions
Ticonic Falls is a drop. Does that keep the mill blocks dry?
It keeps the river from being tidal. It does not keep mill fill from holding October rain, and it does not stop ice from stacking at the head of the falls. A cellar on the Hathaway side can wet from fill and ice with the river dropping over the ledge as designed. The falls is a power story, not a dry-cellar story.
The wall was only damp back in October. Why is it worse now in March?
Because it froze. October rain sits in mill rubble with no damp-proof course to stop it, and freeze-thaw then works it deeper into the wall all winter. What presents as a spring problem is the autumn water still in the masonry.
The house is on the Colby hill. Is the Kennebec still involved?
Not as flood. As the outlet, the drains still run to it, and the hill's own problem is October rain that freezes in the uphill wall. You have left the mill fill and kept New England freeze-up. That is a different wet wall, not a dry one.
