Local conditions in Elizabethtown
Serving Elizabethtown and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in Elizabethtown dates to 1990, and 50.2 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. The stock mixes an older core with substantial newer growth, on thin soil over rock. Karst is the governing condition: drainage runs partly underground along routes set by the geology, so a lot can receive water from a direction its own ground gives no indication of.
Climate & seasonal risk
May alone accounts for 10.6 percent of the 54.38 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 1.7 miles away at ELIZABETHTOWN WP CS. May brings the wettest month at nearly six inches. Water entering the rock through openings moves quickly along them, which is why heavy rain can surface well away from where it fell and why a basement can take water with a dry yard above it.
Common water damage problems in Elizabethtown
- Drainage running underground along routes set by the rock rather than the surface
- Openings in the rock that can enlarge after sustained heavy rain
- Basement excavations that may have intersected an active flow path
- Surrounding farmland connected quickly to groundwater with little filtration
