Local conditions in Homewood

Local housing stock
Only 6.2 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1961. This is almost entirely pre-1990 housing, much of it mid-century, over full basements poured before drain tile was standard. Original clay building sewers of that era are now well past their expected service lives, and root intrusion and joint separation are the rule rather than the exception.
Climate & seasonal risk
June alone accounts for 12.2 percent of the 41.46 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 0.2 miles away at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE. June brings the wettest month to flat ground with almost no fall, where the regional drainage moves slowly under any conditions. The seasonal table rises after a storm and takes days rather than hours to fall, so basements are exposed for an extended period rather than during the storm itself.

- Original clay building sewers decades past service life, with root intrusion common
