Frequently asked questions
The grade here is almost flat. Where is June rain supposed to go?
Very slowly sideways, if at all. Lake-plain clay perches the cell near the surface and there is barely any fall to move it, so it stands until it soaks in or evaporates. Flat ground and tight soil together leave no route out.
No rain fell and the harbor ward basements are wet. What did that?
A seiche. The lake tilts and pushes water into the harbor from the basin side, so these basements wet with nothing falling anywhere nearby. The rain gauge has no bearing on it.
The house has settled and the cellar got wetter. Related?
The same ground is doing both. Slag and mill fill compress unevenly and hold water while they do it, so settlement and dampness arrive together rather than one causing the other. The fill is the common cause.
