Local housing stock
Building in Milwaukee clusters in the early 1950s: the median unit dates to 1953, with 88.2 percent finished before 1990. Wood-frame duplexes and bungalows on full masonry basements sit close together, brick cladding common, cellars poured before damp-proofing was ordinary. Water enters through freeze-opened mortar at the wall, through ice-dammed eaves at the roof, and through floor drains when older laterals surcharge.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 33.82 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.84 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 3.2 miles away at MT MARY COLLEGE. June leads at 4.84 inches after a long freeze season that has already worked the joints open, so the volume finds them. Ice dams on bungalow eaves hold melt on the roof deck at the same time the cellar is taking that pulse from the ground.
Common water damage problems in Milwaukee
- Freeze-thaw opening mortar that June rain then drives through undamp-proofed cellar walls
- Ice dams on bungalow eaves holding melt under the roof covering
- Full masonry basements from before 1960 with original drainage and no damp-proof course
- Duplex party walls carrying roof water from one unit into the other's ceiling
