Local housing stock
Building in Scranton clusters in the late 1930s: the median unit dates to 1938, with 91.8 percent finished before 1990. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, dense frame and masonry housing built for a mining workforce on close lots. What is beneath matters as much as what is above: extensive deep workings and the mine pool they hold affect both ground stability and how water moves underground across large parts of the city.
Climate & seasonal risk
Scranton averages 38.72 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at WILKES-BARRE INTL AP 5.8 miles away, with September the wettest month at 4.15 inches. September brings the wettest month, and the water underground follows the workings rather than the surface. Mine pools rise and fall on their own schedule, and water moving through anthracite workings can emerge at a slope face or a cellar wall with no rainfall pattern above it to explain the location.
Common water damage problems in Scranton
- Deep anthracite workings routing groundwater along paths unrelated to the surface
- Mine pool levels rising and falling independently of local rainfall
- Subsidence risk over old workings, opening paths that admit water
- Mining-era housing on close lots with foundations built without any drainage layer
