Local conditions in Carlstadt
Serving Carlstadt and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Building in Carlstadt clusters in the late 1950s: the median unit dates to 1957, with 86.5 percent finished before 1990. Mid-century housing and industrial building sit on fill placed over tidal marsh, which is the defining condition. Fill over compressible marsh settles unevenly over decades, so foundations and slabs move at different rates across a lot and the joints that open become the paths water uses.
Climate & seasonal risk
Carlstadt averages 46.29 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at TETERBORO AP 1.6 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.45 inches. July brings the wettest month to ground barely above a tidal river in a basin with almost no natural drainage. The marsh beneath holds water, the fill above it settles, and the tide sets the level that any drainage has to discharge against.
Common water damage problems in Carlstadt
- Fill over compressible marsh settling unevenly and opening joints that admit water
- A tidal river setting the discharge level for a basin with almost no natural fall
- Ground barely above the water, leaving very little margin in any event
- Marsh soils beneath that hold water indefinitely once it reaches them
