What drying runs into in San Jose
Serving San Jose and the surrounding area, including Berryessa, Willow Glen, Fruitdale, Buena Vista, Evergreen, Alum Rock, Edenvale, Seven Trees.
Local housing stock
Roughly 249,093 of San Jose's 345,066 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1976; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1976 with seven in ten houses older, a considerable number of properties now carry an accessory dwelling in the back garden or converted from a garage, with its own kitchen and bathroom.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, San Jose gets 18.8 inches a year with January heaviest at 3.83, and the drying season runs from a 50.8-degree December to a 71.2-degree August; rain recorded at SAN JOSE 3.5 ENE 2.1 miles away and temperatures at SAN JOSE 6.1 miles away. January is the wettest month at 3.83 inches of an 18.8-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the rain is concentrated into a short winter; a service trench dug across a garden meets that as a permeable line.
How water losses tend to end in San Jose
- New drainage and supply trenched across the garden, so there is a route to the main house
- A second kitchen and bathroom at the back of the lot, so there is plumbing far from any shutoff
- Work of varying standard, so what is buried depends entirely on how it was done
