Local conditions in Hornell
Serving Hornell and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 9.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1938. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, largely pre-war frame housing on stone and early poured cellars in a narrow valley. Those cellars were dug for storage rather than living space, and they sit in valley fill that saturates whenever the river is high, whatever the levee is doing.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — HORNELL ALMOND DAM, 2.4 miles out — puts the annual normal at 38.39 inches, with June heaviest at 4.11. June brings the wettest month to a steep, narrow watershed where rainfall reaches the river quickly. The levees address the channel; they do nothing about groundwater in the valley fill, which rises with the river and reaches cellar floors from below rather than over any wall.
Common water damage problems in Hornell
- Valley fill groundwater rising with the river, entering cellars from below rather than over a levee
- A steep narrow watershed delivering rainfall to the channel within hours
- Pre-war stone and early poured cellars with no drainage provision behind the walls
- Interior drainage that cannot discharge while the river is at its peak
