Frequently asked questions
The rain was short. Why did the cellar take water?
Tide and fill. A July burst on a paved peninsula becomes runoff at once, and if the Arthur Kill is high the outfalls cannot open. The cellar drain is then the lowest opening in the block. Duration of the rain matters less than the stage in the Kill when it arrived.
Some maps list Staten Island names as local areas. Are those in this city?
No. Tottenville and Richmond Valley sit across the Kill. This point is Raritan-and-Kill fill, a 1959 cellar grid, and a tide-locked combined system. Using the leaked island names in a scope would send the job to the wrong ground.
Is a cellar on the point a different problem from one farther inland in Woodbridge?
Yes. The point is tide-locked fill. Inland lots have more grade and less Kill influence. A July storm that only wets the peninsula is a tide-and-outfall job, not a generic Middlesex basement seepage job.
