Frequently asked questions
Jersey City's basements wet with the tide. Is that the job here too?
No. That city sits on Hudson fill. This one sits on the Watchung inland of Newark. There is no tide. June rain here sheds off trap rock into a combined sewer in the Parkway cut, and the cellar drain is the lowest opening on the block. Same gauge, different ground.
Newark's problem is paving. Why isn't that the whole story on this ridge?
The ridge still has yards, but they sit on rock. Rain that would soak a meadow sheets off the trap rock and hits the same combined system. The paving story is Newark's flats; the rock-and-cut story is this one. University Heights still sheds to that cut, which is why a meadow-soak diagnosis fails on the ridge.
The house is on a hill. Why would a cellar still take water?
Because the uphill wall is holding the hill. A 1956 basement on the Watchung was poured against the cut with little or no drain. June rain in the rock above the house is still moving days later, and that wall is the dam. Hutton Park cellars on the buried face stay wet after the street has dried, which is the hill talking, not a tide.
