What drying runs into in Bristol

Local housing stock
Only 15.7 percent of Bristol's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1967 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1967 with more than eight in ten houses older, the neighborhoods on and around the ridge sit on a shallow covering of soil over dense volcanic rock that water does not enter.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 51.96 inches, 5.38 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 72.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at THOMASTON DAM 6.2 miles away and temperatures at BURLINGTON 7.8 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.38 inches of a 52-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in autumn on a thin soil profile; once that is full, everything else runs across the surface.
How water losses tend to end in Bristol
- Very little soil to absorb anything, so the ground reaches capacity within an hour
- Rock that takes no water at all, so there is no deep drainage anywhere beneath
- Foundations bearing on or near rock, so water runs along the rock surface to them
