Local housing stock
Of roughly 25,182 housing units, about 20,488 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1967. Mid-century and older housing over full basements sits on ground that is shallow soil over shale in places and river terrace in others. Where shale is close beneath, there is very little storage, so water moves along the rock surface and arrives at foundations laterally rather than soaking away.
Climate & seasonal risk
Elyria averages 40.41 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ELYRIA 0.4 SE 0.5 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.14 inches. June brings the wettest month to a city where two branches converge and the channels are cut into rock. Gorge sections carry water fast and give it nowhere to spread, so a rise moves through quickly and the flat ground above the gorges takes the surplus that the channel cannot accept.
Common water damage problems in Elyria
- Two river branches converging within the city, so upstream rain on either raises the level
- Rock-cut gorge channels that carry water fast and offer no floodplain storage
- Shallow soil over shale routing groundwater laterally into basements
- Older basements on river terraces sitting close to the seasonal table
