Local conditions in Westerville
Serving Westerville and the surrounding area, including Uptown.
Local housing stock
Only 36 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1982. 1970s and 1980s frame and brick two-stories on full basements, a median year of 1982, and about two thirds of the units standing before 1990.
Climate & seasonal risk
Westerville averages 42.23 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at WESTERVILLE 1.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 5.02 inches. June leads at 5.02 inches of a 42.23 inch year, arriving as summer storms on clay till that holds water at the surface across the flat ground away from the creek. The subdivisions that make up most of this city were built with basements on that clay and with sump pumps to compensate, so a June downpour is a test of the pump and the backup rather than of the wall, and the basements that flood are usually the ones where the pump was outpaced or the power went out with the storm.
Common moisture and mold problems in Westerville
- Flat clay till away from the creek holding June storm water in the backfill around every basement
- Sump pumps sized in the 1980s running continuously through a June storm and failing when the power does
- Creek terraces where the older houses sit on gravel and stay dry while the newer streets on clay do not
- Subdivision retention basins filling to the outlet and holding water in the adjoining backyards for days
