Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Wilkes-Barre were built and the answer is 1943 at the median, 90.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1943 with more than nine in ten houses older, the city stands over workings that were kept dry by pumping for as long as they were worked, and the pumps were switched off when the mining ended.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.37 inches, 4.72 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 73.7 degrees in July; rain recorded at FORTY FORT 0.4 NNE 3.4 miles away and temperatures at WILKES-BARRE INTL AP 9.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.72 inches of a 45-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so rainfall is ordinary; what sets the level under these houses is not the weather but a decision made decades ago to stop pumping.
How water losses tend to end in Wilkes-Barre
- A water table restored to where it was before the mining, so it is higher than the houses assume
- Basements dug when the ground was being pumped dry, so they sit below the level that returned
- Mine water that is often iron-rich, so what arrives stains and fouls what it touches
