Frequently asked questions
The Lackawanna did not rise. Why is there a new pond in a 1938 yard that used to shed?
The bench dropped. Anthracite workings can lower a street years after the coal came out, and that new trough is not on a flood map because it did not exist when the maps were drawn. September remnants then have a bowl to fill that the original grade never had.
The stain is on the uphill brick and the Lackawanna is behaving. Next look?
The cut. That wall is retaining a coal-measure hillside, not the river. Water that entered the slope is still moving down days after a remnant. The Lackawanna is the flood question; the bench cut is the seepage question, and they are not the same September job.
Does a double house change how a roof leak travels?
It does. These pairs share a wall and often a roof plane. Water entering at one flashing travels along a joist or the party wall and exits wherever the finish is weakest, frequently next door. The stain is the exit, not the entry.
