Frequently asked questions
The river is in its banks. Why is the cellar wet?
Because the tide is in the fill, not just the channel. Meadow that was piled to make lots still breathes with the Hackensack. A basement on that fill is sitting in a wet climate the tide maintains. A calm surface is not a dry table.
Is this the same problem as Passaic on the other river?
No. Passaic's story is a different channel and a different industrial edge. Here the water is the Hackensack tide in Meadowlands fill under the county seat. Sharing Teterboro's gauge does not make the hydrology the same. Sharing Teterboro's gauge does not make meadow fill and a Passaic industrial edge the same repair.
A July storm on a high tide — what actually fails first?
The discharge. Drains that empty toward the river have no head once the tide is up, so the cell has to sit in the street and the cellar. The roof can be fine. The job is getting water out of a system that is already full at the outfall.
