Common water damage problems in Cambridge
- Filled marsh beneath large parts of the city, soft and slow to release water
- A surface with essentially nothing permeable left in it
- A tidal river alongside, so the lowest ground responds to the tide as well
- Below-grade plant and equipment in buildings where the loss is out of proportion to the depth
