Local housing stock
Close to three fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 59 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1980. Frame housing on crawlspaces and basements predominates with a median build year of 1980, built across the flat valley bottom and low surrounding hills.
Climate & seasonal risk
December is the wettest month here at 7.84 inches, part of an annual 46.53 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from SALEM 1.1 WSW, 1 miles off. The 46.53 inch total is concentrated overwhelmingly into the winter half of the year. Months of continuous rainfall on valley clay mean the soil never gets a drying interval, so hydrostatic pressure against foundations is a sustained condition rather than a response to individual storms.
Common moisture and mold problems in Salem
- A winter wet season keeping valley soil saturated against foundations for months at a stretch
- December rainfall of 7.84 inches arriving when evaporation is effectively zero
- Crawlspaces where winter air offers no drying capacity and ground moisture cannot escape
- Moss and organic debris holding water on roof coverings through the long rainy season
