Local housing stock
Building in South Portland clusters in the late 1960s: the median unit dates to 1968, with 74.5 percent finished before 1990. Frame housing on basements and crawlspaces predominates, built across a low peninsula with substantial frontage on the bay and the harbor.
Climate & seasonal risk
October is the wettest month here at 5.25 inches, part of an annual 48.12 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from PORTLAND INTL JETPORT, 1.5 miles off. What distinguishes this location from the mainland is exposure rather than the rainfall figures. A low peninsula takes coastal storms on three sides, so wind-driven rain arrives at wall assemblies from directions an inland building never faces, and salt in that air shortens the life of every fastener and flashing it settles on. The water table stays close to basement level across most of the peninsula year-round.
Common moisture and mold problems in South Portland
- Peninsula exposure taking wind-driven rain from three sides during coastal storms
- Salt-laden air shortening the service life of flashing, fasteners and mechanical equipment
- A coastal water table close to basement floor level across most of the low ground
- Meltwater refreezing at cold eaves and forcing itself back beneath the shingle course above
