Local housing stock
The median home in Union City dates to 1961, and 80 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Four fifths of the housing predates 1990, overwhelmingly multi-family at very high density on small lots. Rock close beneath means excavations were cut into diabase, and the backfill placed around those foundations is more permeable than the rock it sits in, so water reaching it collects rather than draining.
Climate & seasonal risk
July is the wettest month here at 4.6 inches, part of an annual 49.52 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from NEW YORK CNTRL PK TWR, 3.4 miles off. July brings the wettest month as intense convective cells onto a ridge with almost no soil to absorb them. Runoff leaves quickly toward the slopes on either side, and what soaks in has very little storage before it reaches rock and moves laterally.
Common water damage problems in Union City
- Excavations cut into hard rock, surrounded by backfill that fills and holds water
- Extreme density with almost no pervious ground anywhere
