Local housing stock
Of roughly 24,130 housing units, about 21,928 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1947. Dense older rowhouse stock on stone and early poured cellars, most with a floor drain connected to a pipe that carries storm water and waste together. That drain is the lowest opening in the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
Harrisburg averages 45.23 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at HARRISBURG 1 NE 0.9 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.81 inches. July leads at under five inches within forty-five for the year. The river here is wide and shallow, so a rise spreads across a great width rather than climbing quickly.
Common water damage problems in Harrisburg
- One pipe carrying storm water and waste, surcharging on rate rather than on total
- A wide shallow river where a modest rise covers a great deal of ground
- Rowhouse cellars whose floor drains sit below the level of the street main
- Islands and low ground within the city that flood well before anything else does
