Frequently asked questions
The uphill wall is cut into slate and it still seeps. Should rock not keep water out?
Slate carries it along the bedding. A cellar cut into the hill retains saturated rock behind the wall, and water travels the layers to the face. Solid is not the same as impermeable.
The Hill is high. Why is that cellar wet when the river is down?
The uphill wall is holding slate, not the Hudson. July cells wet the cut, and a 1938 cellar takes seepage for days after. The dam is a terrace story. The cut is a hill story, and waiting on the river to drop will not dry that wall.
A dry street in South Troy and a wet cellar. Is that the race?
Often. The Wynants Kill was culverted and covered, and it still carries. Dye in the void, or a camera, is the local confirmation. Starting at the roof of a collar-era brick building will miss a channel that never used the gutter.
