Local housing stock
Of roughly 36,032 housing units, about 33,983 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1938. Dense brick rowhouses fill the older core, sharing party walls, roof planes, and often drainage across three or four separately owned buildings. Brick of this age absorbs a great deal of water and gives it back slowly, so a drying schedule here runs well past what the framing readings alone would suggest.
Climate & seasonal risk
Reading averages 49.3 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at READING 1.2 SW 1.2 miles away, with July the wettest month at 5.62 inches. July brings the wettest month to a valley city where the surrounding hills shed quickly onto a dense, largely impervious core. The Schuylkill itself responds to a large watershed with more warning, so the city faces a fast local mechanism and a slow river one at the same time.
Common water damage problems in Reading
- Fast hillside runoff onto a dense impervious core with almost no absorbent ground
- Rowhouse party walls and continuous roof planes carrying one failure into several buildings
- Solid brick that holds water and extends every drying schedule
- A river responding on a different and slower timescale than the local storm drainage
