Erie, PA sits on clay and shale over hilly terrain and has a humid continental climate with roughly 38–44" of precipitation a year. The local water table is variable, with slopes that concentrate runoff against foundations, with significant winter freeze–thaw cycling, and an older housing stock with many stone and block foundations. In practical terms, aging foundations, hillside runoff and freeze–thaw combine to stress basement walls — which is exactly why sump pump installation is a common need here.
