wet cellar is the cause of constant
a;seomfers to the house owner. In
manv cases, it is cause of disease. A
house perfectly satisfactory in all ether
respects, may have its cash value al
most completely destroyed by an in
curably wet cellar. For these reasons
II is of the utmost Importance to the
house builder to guard against wet
cellar at all costs,
AS the water which causes trouble
never can originate inside the cellar,
Inc uYoblem becomes one of keeping
the water outside after the cellar has
been built. Cellar fiors are usually
huilt of concrete and cellar wallis of
rubble stone, or brick. All of these
materials are more or less porous, and
will permit OF the passage of water
through them. The only methods,
therefore, which can be used 10 keep
water from entering through them are
two: first, conducting the water away
from them so that it will go somewhere
else-known known as the "drainage'
method; second, covering them either
an the inside or outside with an ina,
pervious coating which will not permit
the passage OF water, KNOWN as the
awaterproofngn method. Sometimes 4
combination of these two methods il
necessary.
House on Hillside
When house is located on a side
hill in gravelly soil the slope of the
hill and the natural drainage of the
soil is very apt to take care of all dan
ger Of water leakage through the celia,
walls, except along the rear wall OF
the building; that is TO say, the wal
on the up-hi side, The cellar wall or
this side of the building acts as dam

above. After very heavy rains or dur

collect along the outside of this wal
in greater quantities than will drair
away naturally, and thus establish q
water pressure against the porous eel
lar wall. If nothing is done to csun,
