Frequently asked questions
The tide is in. Does that really back a cellar a block inland?
Yes, through the pipes. Combined sewers here outlet to the Delaware, and a high tide plus a July burst means the outlet is already full. The lowest opening on the block is a cellar drain, and it becomes an inlet. You do not need the river over the bank for that.
Viscose Village sits on fill. What does that do decades later?
Fill over river mud compresses and weeps. A brick row that looked dry when the mill was running can take moisture from below as the fill slumps and the water table in it stays tied to the Delaware. The stain is often at the river-side corner, not under a roof leak.
We share a party wall. Whose roof is the wet stain actually from?
On a Delaware row it is often not yours. Viscose-era brick shares a roof plane and a leader. Water that enters at a neighbor's flashing travels the party wall and leaves where this plaster failed. The unit with the stain is the exit. The repair starts at the shared plane, not at this ceiling alone.
