Local housing stock
Of roughly 97,298 housing units, about 71,362 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1967. Much of the stock is early and mid-century wood frame on daylight basements and crawl spaces cut into glacial till and outwash. Those two soils behave in opposite ways: outwash lets water through readily, till stops it, and a house sited where one sits above the other has water arriving laterally at the contact.
Climate & seasonal risk
November is the wettest month here at 6.5 inches, part of an annual 40.81 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from TACOMA #1, 2.3 miles off. November rain is persistent rather than intense, which changes the failure mode. Six and a half inches spread over a month keeps the soil continuously saturated, so gutters, crawl spaces, and hillside drainage never get the dry spell they would need to recover, and small defects that a summer storm would shrug off become continuous leaks.
Common water damage problems in Tacoma
- Water moving laterally along the contact where permeable outwash sits over impermeable till
- Continuous winter saturation that never allows an assembly to dry between events
- Hillside and ravine lots concentrating runoff onto the properties below them
- Gutters and downspouts overwhelmed by months of steady rain and heavy needle and leaf litter
