Frequently asked questions
The basement wets and dries on a rhythm that has nothing to do with rain. What is it?
The tide. East-bank flats put water against these cellars on a cycle the weather map never shows, so the pattern repeats regardless of the forecast. Track the tide table and it stops looking random.
The cellar wets on a clear July day. What is feeding it?
The rail prisms. Yard ground still connects to the river from the side, so tidal water reaches the fill and then the cellar with no storm involved. It runs on the tide rather than the forecast.
Rain and tide both reach this cellar. Do they simply add up?
They compound rather than add. Rail fill holds a July cell at the same time the tide is occupying the same ground, so neither can drain while the other is present. Either alone would clear; together they sit.
