Frequently asked questions
The creek stayed in its banks. Why is the cellar still a June problem?
Overbank flow is only one path. Combined sewers on these benches surcharge when June rain hits a system carrying groundwater, and a brick cellar takes the pipes with the creek behaving itself. The channel is the obvious event; the quieter one is the sewer.
Is a brick mill cellar a different assembly from a poured 1947 ranch?
Yes. Mill brick and rubble pass moisture and have no damp-proofing. The ranch is a poured wall against clay, often without tile. One wets through the material; the other wets at the joints and the uphill face. Same June storm, two scopes.
Cleveland has the lake. Why is this inland creek city still this wet in a basement?
Because the stock is older and the drainage is a creek-and-sewer system, not a lake plain. A 1947 median with 91 percent pre-1990 means the cellars are the original ones. June's 4.76 inches is enough when the pipes and the walls are both from that era.
