Frequently asked questions
The South Side sits on old works ground. What does that do to rain?
It perches it. Slag and mill fill hold July rain in the made ground rather than passing it down, so a cellar takes water from material the plant left rather than from the soil underneath it.
The steel mill is closed. Does the slag still hold water?
The plant stopped pouring. The fill did not drain. Slag and mill debris perch July rain in pockets that have no designed outlet, and a cellar on that grid can wet from below with the Lehigh inside its banks. Closing the mill closed the job. It did not close the perched table.
One blocked leader wet several houses in the row. How?
The row drains as one. Leaders serve adjoining addresses, so a single clog puts water against a party wall several houses share. The blockage is at one downspout; the damage runs along the terrace.
