Local housing stock
Of roughly 29,105 housing units, about 28,180 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1938. Dense early twentieth century stock on full basements, houses often less than ten feet apart, with the ground between them carrying two roofs' worth of runoff and belonging to two owners.
Climate & seasonal risk
Lakewood averages 41.03 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at CLEVELAND 5.7 miles away, with September the wettest month at 3.93 inches. September leads at under four inches within forty-one for the year. What causes trouble is not the total but that a very large roof area sheds onto a very small area of ground.
Common water damage problems in Lakewood
- Houses close enough together that the strip between them takes both roofs
- Drainage between properties that belongs to two owners and is maintained by neither
- Basements of a single early era with no relief drainage behind the walls
- Downspouts and footing drains connected to the house drain when the stock was built
