Frequently asked questions
Why would October rain matter to a problem that appears in March?
Because the water is still there. Ground that saturates in autumn freezes with that moisture in place, and the expansion works joints and cracks wider through the winter. By the time the melt arrives, the openings are larger than they were in the fall and there is a lot of water available.
Are ice dams a roof problem or an insulation problem?
Almost always the second, expressed through the first. Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the water refreezes at the cold eave, and the resulting ridge backs meltwater under the covering. Fixing the roof surface without addressing the heat loss tends to produce the same dam next winter.
What should be expected of a mill-era masonry basement?
That it will move moisture. Masonry of that period was built without damp-proofing, and brick actively transports water. The realistic aim is controlling what reaches the outside of the wall and managing humidity inside it, rather than expecting the wall itself to behave like a modern barrier.
