Frequently asked questions
We are north of the city and off the James. Why does September still wet a short basement?
Upham Brook is the local water. A remnant that fills the Chickahominy holds this tributary up, and the lowest streets then take a table without ever seeing the James. Uphill split-levels take the same month as perched clay against the buried wall. The tidal river is the wrong map for this community.
The downhill family room takes September and the upstairs stays dry. Why the split?
The family room is a short basement on the downhill side, buried in Piedmont clay, and remnant rain hits that face first. The upstairs sits on a slab. Treat the split as two elevations. The month is a perched-wall job on the lower rooms, not a roof leak.
The tiles around the basement were never replaced. Does that matter after fifty years?
It is often the whole job. 1974 clay tiles silt in this soil until the pipe is a mud core, and September then sits against the wall. Jetting to daylight, or replacing the run, is the repair. A new sump on a clogged tile just pumps a puddle that never ends.
