Local housing stock
Building in East Orange clusters in the mid 1950s: the median unit dates to 1956, with 82.9 percent finished before 1990. Dense older housing, much of it multi-family, covers ground that falls away from the ridge above. Lot coverage is high enough that almost nothing is absorbed, and the older neighborhoods are served by combined sewers carrying sanitary and storm flow in a single pipe.
Climate & seasonal risk
East Orange averages 50.42 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at HARRISON 3.3 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.87 inches. June brings the wettest month, and the ridge above sheds quickly onto ground with almost no absorbent surface left. The combined system takes essentially the whole rainfall, and when it surcharges the lowest connected openings become the relief points across whole blocks.
Common water damage problems in East Orange
- Combined sewers surcharging and relieving through the lowest basement fixtures
- A ridge above delivering runoff onto ground with almost no absorbent surface
- Buildings stacked several floors, where a single riser reaches every floor beneath
- Very little pervious ground anywhere to absorb any part of a storm
