Local housing stock
Building in Norfolk clusters in the mid 1960s: the median unit dates to 1964, with 77.8 percent finished before 1990. Post-war frame and brick on slabs and short crawls, much of it on fill around the naval station and the older creeks. Water enters from below as the table and the tide meet the fill, and from the side when a wind-driven remnant drives rain under eaves that ordinary storms never test.
Climate & seasonal risk
Norfolk averages 45.68 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at NORFOLK NAS 2.8 miles away, with August the wettest month at 5.3 inches. August remnants often arrive while the Elizabeth is already high. Subsidence has erased the freeboard those 1960s lots were given, so a cell that would have drained when the house was new now sits against the stem and comes up through the crawl.
Common water damage problems in Norfolk
- Land drop putting 1960s slabs into a tidal table they were poured above
- Elizabeth River high water locking storm drains so an August remnant has no outfall
- Fill around the naval station holding brackish groundwater against short crawl spaces
- Wind-driven remnant rain forced under eaves and into wall heads that a still-air thunderstorm never wets
