Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 82.8 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1969. This is uniform postwar tract housing, mostly single-story with full basements, built quickly on heavy clay for an expanding auto workforce. The uniformity matters: whole subdivisions have the same foundation detail, the same sewer connection, and the same age of drain line, so they tend to fail together rather than one at a time.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 35.09 inches that arrive in an average year, 3.77 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.3 miles away at DEARBORN HEIGHTS 1.8 NW. The May peak of under four inches is unremarkable, but the combined sewer network serving much of this area was sized for a landscape with far less pavement on it. A cell that would be routine elsewhere surcharges the line, and the relief point is the floor drain in the lowest basement on the block.
Common water damage problems in Westland
- Sewer surcharge relieving through basement floor drains across whole subdivisions at once
- Heavy clay that keeps the water table high and gives surface water nowhere to infiltrate
- Uniform tract construction, so one failure mode affects hundreds of near-identical houses
- Original clay and cast-iron building sewers reaching the end of their service life together
