Felida is built on the bluffs above the Columbia, and sloping ground changes what a water loss looks like. This is daylight basement country — a storey that is below grade at the back and open at the front — and when the hillside stays saturated through a seven-month wet season, water arrives through the uphill wall rather than from a burst pipe. Because a basement here is almost always finished living space, that means drywall, flooring and contents, not a bare utility room with a drain.
- Water entering daylight basements through below-grade walls
- Hillside saturation after weeks of steady rain
- Mold in finished lower levels where moisture lingers
