Frequently asked questions
The lake is a mile north. Why is it in the basement conversation?
The clay is lakebed, and the air is lake air. A water table in this plain does not need the shoreline to be high, and summer humidity off the water keeps interiors from drying even when the gauge is quiet. Distance from the beach is not distance from the lake.
A double-house. Whose leak is a wet party wall?
Both, practically. The wall is shared structure, and water in it does not respect the deed line. Finding the source — a roof, a gutter, a plumbing chase — has to happen before anyone can usefully argue about whose wall it is, and the drying cannot wait on that argument.
The coal cellar has always been damp. Leave it?
A little damp is the history of these rooms; standing water or a smell that is new is not. Original 1940s walls have no damp-proof course, so the job is keeping surface water away and the air moving, not making a coal cellar dry like a 2000s basement.
