Local housing stock
Of roughly 67,601 housing units, about 61,183 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1948. Stone and early poured cellars under housing that mostly went up before 1950, in a city whose sewers were laid to take storm water and waste together. Neither was designed with this much snow in mind.
Climate & seasonal risk
July is the wettest month here at 4.2 inches, part of an annual 43.35 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from DE WITT 1.4 WSW, 2.3 miles off. July leads the rainfall at just over four inches, but the event that fills basements is a warm rain in February onto a deep pack over frozen ground.
Common water damage problems in Syracuse
- A deep snowpack releasing in days when a warm rain arrives on top of it
- Frozen ground that takes none of the melt, sending all of it to the surface
- Combined sewers carrying snowmelt and waste in the same pipe at the same hour
- Ice at downspout outlets, so roof water is discharged at the foundation all winter
