What drying runs into in Wheat Ridge
Serving Wheat Ridge and the surrounding area, including Mount Olivet.
Local housing stock
84.7 percent of Wheat Ridge's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1965, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1965 with nearly 85 percent of the stock older, the city kept its market-garden lot pattern as it suburbanized, so properties are deep strips with the house near the road and a great deal of ground behind.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 17.48 inches, 2.66 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 72.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at WHEAT RIDGE 0.9 WSW 0.6 miles away and temperatures at WHEAT RIDGE 2 0.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at 2.66 inches of a 17.48-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so rainfall is light; a deep lot matters because of what has been built and graded on it over sixty years.
How water losses tend to end in Wheat Ridge
- A great deal of ground behind the house, so the fall across the lot is long and easily reversed
- Outbuildings added over decades, so there are structures and hard surfaces with no drainage plan
- Water arriving from the back, so the attention paid to the street frontage misses it
