Underground wood pilings form the structural support for buildings constructed on fill especially before the 1920's.
|
These pilings are structurally sound if they are completely submerged in water.
|
Low groundwater levels, as have been discovered in some Boston neighborhoods, can cause deterioration and damage to foundations.
|
In 1986, the Boston Groundwater Trust was established to monitor groundwater levels and make recommendations to solve the problem.
