Local housing stock
The median home in Portland dates to 1946, and 85.2 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Dense older wood and brick housing sits on a peninsula of ledge and thin soil, much of it over granite or rubble cellars. With rock close to the surface across much of the peninsula, a cellar excavation has very little soil around it to drain into, and water that reaches the backfill stands against the wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
Portland averages 48.12 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at PORTLAND INTL JETPORT 5.9 miles away, with October the wettest month at 5.25 inches. October brings the wettest month, which is also when coastal storms begin producing surge on top of high tides. On a peninsula the two mechanisms meet: rain has to drain to a shoreline that a storm tide has raised, and the lowest streets lose their outfall for the duration.
Common water damage problems in Portland
- Storm surge on high tides removing the outfall for peninsula drainage
- Ledge close to the surface, leaving cellar backfill with nowhere to drain
- Granite and rubble cellar walls subject to freeze movement as well as water pressure
- Dense older housing where one building's roof and drainage discharges against the next
