Frequently asked questions

The building has a courtyard and one cellar takes everything. Why that one?

The courtyard concentrates it. Converted warehouses here funnel roof and yard water toward a single interior drain, so one cellar receives what the whole footprint collects. It is not the weakest wall; it is the low point of a private catchment.

The waterfront held and we flooded anyway. How?

The bulkhead was never the weak point. This is a filled cove shaped like a bowl, and when the street-end outfalls drown in July the rain has nowhere to go but inland. The water comes from the sky and stays because it cannot leave.

The river did not overtop. Why is the basement full after July?

Because the rain never reached the river. Outfalls at the street ends were already under the tide, so the cell dumped into the bowl, and the bowl is every basement. Overtopping is a surge story. This is an outlet story. The bulkhead can be perfect and the cellar still takes the storm.
