Local housing stock
Of roughly 36,032 housing units, about 33,983 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1938. Brick rowhouses with party walls, internal leaders, and below-grade basements, packed onto the river flats and the steep streets that climb toward Mount Penn.
Climate & seasonal risk
Reading averages 49.3 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at READING 1.2 SW 1.2 miles away, with July the wettest month at 5.62 inches. July's 5.62 inches is a summer cloudburst on a city of brick. On the flats the Schuylkill and the combined sewers back into cellars; on the hills a blocked leader sends the same storm straight down inside the wall. There is almost no later housing to dilute either failure.
Common moisture and mold problems in Reading
- Brick rowhouses sharing a roof plane so one blocked leader wets several addresses
- Schuylkill flats where July storms and river high water surcharge cellar drains together
- Sandstone-hill streets discharging pavement runoff onto the next downhill basement
- A 1938 median stock with no original damp-proofing on rubble or early brick foundations
