Frequently asked questions
The Falls are a mile north. Is gorge spray the moisture, or the fill?
The fill. Spray is a tourist-side story. South of the river the housing sits on canal spoil and dumped grade that holds water, and a 1949 basement is a hole in that spoil. The gorge explains the industry; the spoil explains the cellar.
A power canal is two streets over. Can it wet a basement that never floods?
Seepage, not flood. Those canals sit above parts of the south side, and water moves through the spoil sideways. A basement can take that moisture all summer with no rain and no river flood, which is why a dry July still smells like a wet one in some blocks.
Clay tile from 1949 in this spoil. What does a camera usually find?
A crushed run that no longer reaches the river. Spoil settles for decades, and clay tile does not flex. The line that was supposed to drain the footing now holds a puddle against it. Replacing the run through that fill is the repair; a new pump in the old hole is not.
