What drying runs into in Springfield

Local housing stock
74.5 percent of Springfield's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1972, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1972 with three quarters of the stock older, the basements were dug to a depth that puts the floor beneath the level of the storm sewer running down the street outside.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Springfield gets 40.45 inches a year with May heaviest at 5.14, and the drying season runs from a 27.2-degree January to a 75.7-degree July; both figures recorded at SPRINGFIELD #2, 1.8 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.14 inches of a 40-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in spring; the storm line is running full at that moment and the basement is below it.
How water losses tend to end in Springfield
- A basement below the outlet, so everything must be lifted rather than allowed to run
- A storm line running full in a heavy spring, so the discharge is against pressure
- Total dependence on a pump, so a power cut and a storm together fill the basement
