Frequently asked questions
Does density really change the flooding picture?
Substantially. With almost every surface built or paved, effectively all rainfall becomes runoff within minutes, and it arrives at a drainage system serving far more units per acre than a typical suburb. The same storm produces a much sharper peak here.
A leak started in another unit and reached mine. Normal?
In continuous multifamily construction, yes. Floor and wall cavities run between units, so water travels along framing and pipe chases and emerges wherever it finds a path. The damaged area is regularly some distance from the fault, which is why scoping has to precede repair.
The building is on the slope, not the top. Does that matter?
It does. Everything uphill sheds toward you, and on a ridge that is a lot of hard surface with nowhere to soak in. A downhill building takes runoff generated across a wide area above it, regardless of how well its own lot is graded.
