What drying runs into in Waterloo
Serving Waterloo and the surrounding area, including Orange, Huntington Ridge, Hidden Pines, Paradise Estates.
Local housing stock
Roughly 26,600 of Waterloo's 32,143 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1962; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1962 with over eight in ten predating 1990, these houses were built with a floor drain in the attached garage as standard, tied into the same waste line that takes the basement drain rather than to anything outside.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Waterloo have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 10.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 5.91 inches of an annual 38.54; rain recorded at WATERLOO 1.9 SSE 2 miles away and temperatures at WATERLOO MUNI AP 5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.91 inches of a 38.54-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so a winter's worth of snow comes into the garage on vehicles and melts there; that drain is carrying salted meltwater for five months of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Waterloo
- A drain whose trap dries out, leaving an open pipe into the house from a cold space
- Salt and grit washing into a waste line that was never meant for either
- A shared line, so a blockage anywhere in it surfaces at the lowest opening in the house
