Local housing stock
The median home in Camden dates to 1950, and 85.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Dense rowhouse and small-lot housing over cellars fills the older neighborhoods, on Coastal Plain sand with a shallow table beneath. Lot coverage is high enough that almost nothing is absorbed, and the sand that does take water delivers it evenly to cellar walls once the table comes up.
Climate & seasonal risk
Camden averages 50.69 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at PHILA FRANKLIN INST 3.8 miles away, with August the wettest month at 4.95 inches. August brings the heaviest rain to a combined sewer system serving dense, nearly impervious blocks beside a tidal river. When an intense cell coincides with a high tide, the system has neither the capacity to carry the flow nor the head to discharge it, and the lowest cellar fixtures become the relief points.
Common water damage problems in Camden
- Combined sewers surcharging during intense August cells and relieving through cellar fixtures
- A tidal river removing discharge head at the same time the rain is falling
- Coastal Plain sand delivering groundwater evenly across cellar walls once the table rises
- Dense rowhouse blocks converting essentially all rainfall to immediate runoff
