Local housing stock
The median home in Sunbury dates to 1938, and 94.2 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Most of it is prewar, on stone or early poured cellars, in a street pattern laid out before the wall existed. Those cellars sit below the level the river reaches when it is high, which is what makes the interior drainage rather than the wall the thing to understand.
Climate & seasonal risk
September is the wettest month here at 4.52 inches, part of an annual 43.69 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from SUNBURY, 0.6 miles off. September leads near four and a half inches, arriving as remnants of tropical systems that stall over the ridges upstream. The rain that fills this city usually falls somewhere else.
Common water damage problems in Sunbury
- Interior drainage that has to be lifted over the wall whenever the river is high
- Cellars sitting below the river's high level, so pressure comes up through the floor
- Outfalls through the wall that must be closed for the duration of an event
- A street pattern laid out before the wall, with low corners nobody planned for
