What drying runs into in Cedar Rapids

Local housing stock
67.1 percent of Cedar Rapids's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1974, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1974 with two thirds of the stock older, a good many of the downspouts were connected underground into the house drain rather than run out onto the ground, which was ordinary practice when they were built and is still in place.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 72.8 degrees against 19.6; the 35.91 inches a year peak in June at 5.56, both figures recorded at CEDAR RAPIDS MUNI AP, 5.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at over five inches of a thirty-six inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; a roof piped into the house drain puts its whole area into that system in a single storm.
How water losses tend to end in Cedar Rapids
- Roof water entering the house drain, so a storm loads the system the building relies on for everything else
- A whole roof discharging into a pipe sized for fixtures, so the volume is far beyond what it was built for
- Backups at the lowest fixture during rain, so the basement takes it rather than the roof
