Local housing stock
Of roughly 18,667 housing units, about 10,159 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1987. Just over half the housing has gone up since 1990, mixed basement and crawl space construction on valley floor limestone. Karst is the governing condition: water entering solution features moves along routes set by the rock, so the drainage on a property may bear no relation to its visible topography.
Climate & seasonal risk
July alone accounts for 10.7 percent of the 42.81 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 0.9 miles away at HARRISONBURG 0.8 NW. July brings the wettest month as convective storms over a valley floor where much of the drainage is underground. Water that enters a swallet or a sinkhole travels through the rock, which is why a property can take water with no surface flow anywhere near it and why heavy rain sometimes surfaces in unexpected places.
Common water damage problems in Harrisonburg
- Solution channels routing water underground along routes the surface does not predict
- Swallets on the valley floor swallowing surface flow and handing it straight to the rock
- Agricultural land use in the valley affecting what enters the karst system
- Basements cut into limestone where excavation may have intersected a flow path
