Frequently asked questions
The creek dropped. Why is the hill basement still wet?
That wall is holding the hill, not the Connoquenessing. June rain entered the soil above the house and is still moving downslope. The Island is the creek job. Institute Hill is the cut job. They are not the same cellar.
Ninety-six percent of houses predate 1990. What does that mean here?
It means 1938 rubble and brick with no exterior break from the soil, on a mill-valley grade. June rain and a freeze-thaw winter both use those joints. A coating inside does not replace drainage at the cut or a break from the creek table.
Is The Island actually an island?
It is a low bench the creek wraps. After June rain it behaves like one: water on more than one side, a high table, 1938 cellars. Treating it as an ordinary hill lot misses why those blocks wet when the gauge is only moderately up.
