Frequently asked questions
Three units got wet and only one has a roof problem. How?
One flashing failure serves the whole stack. Water entering at the top runs the shared walls and chases down through every address below, so the building fails as a single structure. The unit with the leak is often the driest of the three.
The cellar is wet from the floor up, not the walls down. What does that mean?
That the water is arriving from underneath. Filled mill ground on this bank holds a river-fed table against 1938 cellars, so it presents at the floor first. A roof or gutter repair will not touch it, and lot-line construction leaves no exterior drain access.
There is no yard. Where is July rain supposed to go?
Into the street system, which is why a blocked inlet shows up in the cellar. On a parcel this small there is no lawn and no drywell. Roof water hits the pavement, the pavement hits the pipes, and when those pipes surcharge the lowest opening is a 1938 floor drain.
