Local housing stock
Building in Amherst clusters in the mid 1970s: the median unit dates to 1975, with 74.2 percent finished before 1990. Three quarters predates 1990, on basements dug into material that holds water and gives it up extremely slowly. Ground that looks like ordinary soil here behaves nothing like it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 46.59 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.74 fall in October; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 2.2 miles away at AMHERST. October leads at under five inches within forty-seven for the year, and the valley gets its heaviest events from coastal systems that turn inland in autumn.
Common water damage problems in Amherst
- Fine layered lake clay that holds water and drains at a crawl in any direction
- Autumn coastal systems delivering the heaviest rain of the year onto full ground
- Basements in material where a drain collects far less than the same drain would in gravel
