Frequently asked questions
My ceiling is stained and my neighbor's roof is above it. Is that possible?
On a continuous rowhouse block, yes. The roof plane and parapet are shared or adjoining, and water entering at one address travels along the structure before appearing. The visible damage and the actual defect frequently sit in different ownerships, which complicates scope before it complicates the bill.
Rowhouse roofs seem to fail around the edges. Why there?
Because that is where movement and water both concentrate. Parapets, coping and internal drain connections expand and contract differently from the field of the roof, and they collect debris. The membrane in the middle routinely outlives the details around its perimeter.
What can I reasonably expect from a basement built in the 1930s?
Not by its original design. Foundations of that period were built to carry the house, not to exclude moisture, and the damp-proofing now taken for granted did not exist. Managing water before it reaches the wall accomplishes more than any treatment applied to the inside face.
