Frequently asked questions
Our drainage runs between two houses. Is that really how it was planned?
It is what the plat called drainage. Lots here are tight enough that one side-yard swale serves two houses, so both depend on a channel neither fully controls. When one side regrades, the other finds out.
A high Kill and a June burst. How does that reach a cellar off the waterfront?
Yes, through the pipes. Combined sewers here outlet toward the Rahway, and a high tide plus a June burst means the outlet is already full. The lowest opening on the block is a cellar drain, and it becomes an inlet. You do not need the Kill over the bank for that.
Two cellars, one slot between them. Where does June actually leave?
Down that walkway, which is why a single downspout wets two cellars. There is no lawn to buffer a tide-locked creek. Roof water hits the slot and the slot hits the buried wall, and when the Rahway is high there is no unused room at the end of it.
