Frequently asked questions
Why is it always the back wall of a garden apartment that gets wet?
Because that wall is holding back the hill. On stepped hillside blocks the uphill side of a building is a retaining structure carrying hydrostatic pressure after rain, while the downhill side simply encloses space. One wet wall on a slope is a drainage signature rather than a coincidence.
A leak two units away reached mine. How does that happen?
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 visible damage is regularly further from the source than anyone expects, which is why scoping has to look past the affected room.
December is the wettest month here. Does the season change the risk?
The pattern here spreads rainfall fairly evenly with a cold-season tilt. It matters because December rain meets minimal evaporation and no plant uptake, so the ground retains far more of what falls. The same inches in July would partly leave on their own.
