Local housing stock
Building in Shamokin clusters in the late 1930s: the median unit dates to 1938, with 98.3 percent finished before 1990. This is among the oldest housing stock anywhere in the state: dense mining-era rows on close lots, on stone foundations built without any drainage provision. Very little has been replaced, so the whole town shares one construction era and one set of weaknesses.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 48.01 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.2 fall in September; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 3.7 miles away at BEAR GAP. September brings the wettest month to a narrow valley where the surrounding slopes shed quickly and much of the ground has been reworked by mining and waste disposal. Water moving through disturbed ground and old workings follows routes unrelated to the surface, and it can carry iron and acidity with it.
Common water damage problems in Shamokin
- Disturbed colliery ground and old workings routing water along unpredictable paths
