Local housing stock
Of roughly 329,393 housing units, about 307,574 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1947. Wood-frame houses on full masonry basements sit close together on narrow lots, brick or clapboard above cellars poured in the 1920s through the 1940s with no damp-proofing. Water enters at the floor drain when the combined line surcharges, and through mortar joints that freeze-thaw has opened.
Climate & seasonal risk
Detroit averages 34.89 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at DEARBORN #2 4.4 miles away, with May the wettest month at 3.69 inches. May leads at 3.69 inches, but the path is the pipe, not the roof. Heavy rain surcharges the combined sewer and the lowest opening on the lateral is the basement floor drain, so the cellar takes contaminated water from below.
