Local housing stock
Building in Birmingham clusters in the mid 1960s: the median unit dates to 1965, with 80.6 percent finished before 1990. Mid-century and older housing spreads across the valley floor and the ridges on either side. Industrial history left graded ground, fill, and altered drainage across much of the valley, so what a property sits on and where its water goes are frequently not what the surface suggests.
Climate & seasonal risk
Birmingham averages 58.15 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at MOUNTAIN BROOK 1.7 N 3.3 miles away, with June the wettest month at 6.01 inches. June brings the wettest month in a very wet year, and the valley's drainage was engineered around industry rather than around neighborhoods. Where a creek runs in a culvert, the capacity is fixed and invisible, and when that capacity is exceeded the water surfaces in the streets above it.
Common water damage problems in Birmingham
- Culverted creeks with fixed, invisible capacity that surface into streets when exceeded
- Industrial-era grading and fill across the valley, with drainage that does not follow the surface
- Ridges on both sides shedding quickly onto a narrow valley floor
- Older housing on the valley floor with no elevation margin above the culverted channel
