What drying runs into in Clive
Serving Clive and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Clive house dates to 1995, with about a third of the stock (36.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1990s work. With a median of 1995 and only a third of the stock predating 1990, the subdivisions drain to pipes that outfall into the wooded creeks at the back of the lots, and the ground at those outfalls has been washing out ever since.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.39 of the 37.26 inches Clive sees in a normal year, and July averages 76 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at CLIVE 1.2 E 2.7 miles away and temperatures at DES MOINES INTL AP 9.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.39 inches of a 37-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives as intense summer storms; water leaving a pipe at speed cuts back into the bank a little more with each of them.
How water losses tend to end in Clive
- An outfall cutting back into the ground, so the erosion travels toward the houses rather than away
- Pipe undermined as the bank retreats, so the line itself begins to fail from the end
- Damage at the back of the lot in the trees, so it progresses for years before anyone sees it
