Risk Factors

  • Millstone River floodplain affects properties along Plainsboro Road and Dey Road; FEMA Zone A designations near the river corridor
  • Cranbury Brook tributary flooding impacts low-lying areas in the Princeton Collection and Aspen developments during heavy rain
  • 1990s-2000s condo construction used materials that degrade over time; buildings are now entering the 25-30 year maintenance window for major systems
  • Flat terrain and clay soils create poor natural drainage — standing water in crawlspaces common after sustained rainfall
  • Corporate campus stormwater systems along Route 1 corridor occasionally create drainage issues for adjacent residential areas during heavy rain
