Frequently asked questions
Schoolfield is a neighborhood of empty mills. Why is the cellar still a race problem?
The race is still in the ground. Those canals were filled, not removed, and a 1961 cellar on that terrace is sitting over voids that still connect to the Dan. July remnants raise the river; the race raises the cellar. The mill does not have to spin for the hydrology to work.
A ranch on the hill. Is the Dan in that basement too?
Not as river. Saprolite on the hills weeps after July cells, and a basement cut into that slope holds the uphill face wet. The river is a terrace story. The hill is a cut story. Using one diagnosis for both wastes the opening.
Lime mortar in a warehouse wall. Is that rain or the terrace?
On the terrace, the fill. Lime takes water from the dumped grade the warehouses were set on, and a high Dan keeps that fill wet. Painting the inside face does not stop the terrace from feeding the brick, which is why the stain returns after every July remnant.
