Frequently asked questions
There is no yard. Where is the water supposed to go?
Into the street system, which is why a blocked inlet or a full combined sewer shows up in the cellar. On a parcel this small there is no lawn, no drywell, and no side lot. Roof water hits the pavement and the pavement hits the pipes, and when those pipes surcharge the lowest opening in the block is a cellar drain.
The leak is on my side but the roof is the neighbor's. How does that work?
Triple-deckers here share walls and often share a roof plane. Water entering at one flashing travels along a joist or a party wall and exits wherever the finish is weakest, which is frequently a different unit. The stain is the exit, not the entry, and the repair has to start at the shared plane.
Why is March harder on this grid than a bigger summer storm?
The ground is still wet from winter and the river is high, so the combined sewer is already carrying groundwater when the rain arrives. A summer thunderstorm can be heavier and still leave, because the pipes and the river have more unused room. March loads a system that has not reset.
