Local housing stock
Building in Carbondale clusters in the mid 1970s: the median unit dates to 1976, with 70.5 percent finished before 1990. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, on full basements dug into silt that holds together when dry and cuts easily when wet. A steady flow will take a channel through it in a single season.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 48.95 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.55 fall in April; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 3.2 miles away at CARBONDALE SEWAGE PLT. April leads at over five and a half inches within a forty-nine inch year, and spring is the wet season here rather than summer. That rain arrives when the ground is already full from winter.
Common water damage problems in Carbondale
- Deep windblown silt that cuts and washes away wherever concentrated water runs across it
- A spring wet season arriving when the ground has no capacity left from winter
- Downspout and pump discharges that carve a channel rather than spreading out
- Basements dug into material that gives water back slowly for days after a storm
