Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 92.5 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1952. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, on full basements across ground with essentially no fall. The floor drain in those basements connects to a pipe carrying storm water and waste together.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 40.31 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.77 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.8 miles away at LANSING. June leads at under five inches within forty for the year. A combined system fails on rate, so a short intense cell does what a long soaking rain does not.
Common water damage problems in Hammond
- A single pipe under the street taking both the rain and the sewage
- A river straightened and rerouted, so the natural drainage no longer exists
- Flat ground with no fall, giving a basement no gravity route out
- Lower floors turned into rooms without the drainage being thought about again
