Why Philadelphia homes are different

The city sits between the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers, and its dense stock of pre-war rowhomes and basement units means water problems spread through shared walls and foundations rather than staying isolated to one property.

Philadelphia's rowhomes share party walls, so a moisture problem in one unit can migrate into a neighbor's wall cavity through the shared masonry, a pattern rarely seen in detached-home markets.
