Local housing stock
Of roughly 157,303 housing units, about 119,461 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1974. Single-wall plantation cottages have no cavity, so a leak tracks along the studs and into rooms in minutes, while high-rises share slabs and pipe chases that carry a unit leak down several floors before anyone sees a stain. Salt air opens flashings long before the covering itself looks worn.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — PUNCHBOWL CRATER 709, 1 miles out — puts the annual normal at 31.23 inches, with March heaviest at 3.97. March Kona storms arrive against the trades and dump on the dry side. Roofing and sealants have shrunk through the trade-wind months, so those few wet days find openings that were not there in November, and salt-corroded flashings are the usual entry.
Common water damage problems in Honolulu
- Kona storms finding flashings that opened and rusted through the long dry season
- Single-wall cottages tracking a leak along framing into rooms far from the hole
- High-rise supply and waste failures cascading down stacked slabs and chases
- Salt corrosion of window tracks and drip edges so wind-driven rain enters at the opening, not the field of the roof
