Local housing stock
Of roughly 161,908 housing units, about 141,243 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1942. Brick and timber cellars step up those slopes, which means downspouts end at the property line and wet the wall below. In the industrial flats, those same cellars also take combined-sewer surcharge through a floor grate.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — PITTSBURGH ALLEGHENY CO AP, 6.5 miles out — puts the annual normal at 41.34 inches, with June heaviest at 4.58. June storms run the hillside first, and on a slope that rain is a delivery system that fills the buried side of every cellar. In the flats it lands on combined sewers that surcharge into those same cellars, a pipe problem rather than a shale problem.
Common water damage problems in Pittsburgh
- Slope lots dumping eave water onto the buried brick of the house downhill
- Combined sewers in the older flats surcharging into basements during June storms
- Coal-measure shale and clay slumping on wet slopes and opening cracks that then take the next storm indoors
- Mine-void and industrial fill in the river flats settling under older row housing and breaking drain lines
