Local housing stock
Only 14.7 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1952. Brick and frame on full basements step up the bluffs. Water enters at the uphill wall that is holding saturated ground, through masonry joints that deep frost has widened, and along any concentrated discharge that cuts the soft sandstone under the cap.
Climate & seasonal risk
Saint Paul averages 29.2 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ST PAUL DOWNTOWN AP 2.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.63 inches. June leads at 4.63 inches, but the season that fills cellars is the melt. Deep frost works joints open all winter; spring then delivers a large volume onto openings that were tighter in November, and bluff lots send that pulse into the uphill wall.
Common water damage problems in Saint Paul
- Bluff lots retaining saturated ground against the uphill foundation wall
- St. Peter sandstone eroding where a downspout or broken lateral concentrates flow
- Deep frost widening masonry joints that spring melt then uses
- Full basements taking that melt through openings that were narrower in the fall
