Local conditions in Pottstown
Serving Pottstown and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 9.7 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1951. Dense brick rowhouses and twins fill the older core near the river, built for an industrial workforce with cellars under most of them. Solid masonry absorbs and holds a great deal of water, so after an event these buildings continue releasing moisture into their interiors long after the framing in a comparable frame house would be dry.
Climate & seasonal risk
Pottstown averages 45.34 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at POTTSTOWN LIMERICK AP 4.7 miles away, with September the wettest month at 4.83 inches. September rainfall reflects tropical remnants tracking up the Schuylkill valley, which have historically produced the largest floods on this river. The valley is narrow enough here that a large event raises the water quickly, and the borough's oldest and densest housing is also its lowest.
Common water damage problems in Pottstown
- Tropical remnants driving the largest historical rises on the Schuylkill
- The oldest and densest housing occupying the lowest ground near the river
- Solid masonry that holds water and extends drying schedules well beyond frame construction
- Rowhouse and twin construction, so one building's water crosses into its attached neighbor
