Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 79.3 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1959. Much of the stock is genuinely old: eighteenth and nineteenth century wood and brick in the core, over stone and rubble cellars, alongside later infill. The river here has one of the strongest tidal currents on the east coast, and the low streets nearest it sit only a little above high water.
Climate & seasonal risk
Portsmouth averages 49.42 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ELIOT 2.9 miles away, with October the wettest month at 4.83 inches. October brings the wettest month at the start of the coastal storm season, when a surge on top of a high tide can raise the river well above its normal range. Rain falling during those hours has nowhere to discharge, so the low ground takes both the storm's water and its own.
Common water damage problems in Portsmouth
- Storm surge on high tides raising a strong tidal river above the low streets
- Historic wood and brick over stone cellars with no drainage provision behind the walls
- Rain and surge coinciding, so the drainage has no head to discharge against
- Freeze and thaw acting on saturated stone foundations through a coastal winter
