Local conditions in Lackawanna
Serving Lackawanna and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 90.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1954. Dense worker housing on close lots fills most of the city, on ground where a century of heavy industry left fill and altered drainage across large areas. Cellars here are mid-century and older, built without drainage layers, in ground whose composition varies with what was placed there.
Climate & seasonal risk
October is the wettest month here at 4.44 inches, part of an annual 41.48 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from WEST SENECA 1.9 W, 2.5 miles off. October brings the wettest rain, and lake-effect snow adds a great deal more through the winter. The melt releases months of accumulation over a short period onto ground frozen well below the surface, which is when most cellars here take water.
Common water damage problems in Lackawanna
- Industrial fill across large areas, draining unpredictably because it is placed material
- Heavy lake-effect snow releasing in a compressed spring melt
- Mid-century cellars on close lots with no drainage layer behind the walls
- Ground frozen well below the surface when the melt arrives, so nothing soaks in
