Local housing stock
Building in Akron clusters in the mid 1950s: the median unit dates to 1954, with 89.1 percent finished before 1990. Older stock on full cellars across ground that is steep in places and flat in others. Most of the older neighborhoods have a floor drain connected to a pipe carrying storm water and waste together.
Climate & seasonal risk
Akron averages 32.51 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at AKRON FULTON INTL AP 4.2 miles away, with June the wettest month at 3.67 inches. June leads at under four inches within thirty-three for the year, a modest total. A combined system fails on rate, so a brief violent cell does what a wet week does not.
Common water damage problems in Akron
- Waste and storm water in one pipe, defeated by rate rather than by total
- A divide at the head of two river systems, so neighborhoods drain in opposite directions
- Steep streets in the older half that run like channels during a heavy cell
- Cellars from a period when the masonry alone was the whole provision
