Local housing stock
Building in Elmira clusters in the late 1930s: the median unit dates to 1938, with 95.3 percent finished before 1990. Brick and wood on full cellars, a 1938 median with 95 percent standing before 1990, the Southside on Chemung silt inside the floodwalls and the East Hill cut into glacial till that weeps after every June cell.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 37.43 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.1 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.2 miles away at ELMIRA 1.2 WNW. June is the peak. Inside the Agnes walls that rain has no extra room: the Chemung is held, the Southside is silt, and a 1938 cellar takes the river through the fill the walls never replaced.
Common moisture and mold problems in Elmira
- Agnes-era floodwalls holding the Chemung against Southside cellars that were built as floodplain houses
- East Hill till weeping into uphill cellar walls after a June cell while the river is still in its box
- Filled raceways from the old mill blocks still carrying Chemung water with no overtopping
- 1938 masonry on silt with no later drain tile on the river side of the wall
