Frequently asked questions
The cellar looks worse in March. Did something happen in March?
October happened, then winter. Ground that took 5.14 inches in autumn freezes with that water in the joints of a 1941 wall. Each thaw cycle works those joints wider. March melt is the stored rain leaving through openings that were smaller in November. The damage date is not the cause date.
The pond is down this week. Why is the basement still wet?
The pond sets a season, not a day. Autumn holds the terrace fill wet whether today's level looks low. A 1941 cellar on that fill is sitting in a table the ponds maintain through October and into freeze-up. A dropped surface is not a drained wall. Look at the season, not the afternoon.
This was a mill village. Does that change what the walls are made of?
It does. Brick and lime mortar of that period move moisture rather than blocking it, and no damp-proof course was installed. Managing what reaches the outside of a 1941 wall, and the humidity inside it, beats trying to turn mill masonry into a barrier. The mill is quiet. The mortar still drinks.
