Local conditions in Brookhaven
Serving Brookhaven and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in Brookhaven dates to 1975, and 72.7 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Three quarters of the housing predates 1990, mostly single-story on crawl spaces across rolling loess ground. Loess erodes readily once water concentrates on it, which is why this part of the state is marked by steep gullies, and why a drainage path that concentrates flow can cut a channel where there was none.
Climate & seasonal risk
January is the wettest month here at 6.52 inches, part of an annual 61.58 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from BROOKHAVEN CITY, 2.6 miles off. January brings the heaviest rain in a very wet year, arriving as long frontal systems in the season with the least evaporation. Loess absorbs that readily and then holds it, so the ground stays at capacity from midwinter into spring, and slopes that are stable when dry lose strength while saturated.
Common water damage problems in Brookhaven
- Loess that erodes readily once water concentrates, cutting gullies where flow is directed
- A January peak arriving with no evaporation to recover the ground between systems
- Slopes that hold firm when dry and lose strength through months of saturation
- Crawl spaces on rolling ground taking concentrated flow from uphill
