What drying runs into in Pocatello
Serving Pocatello and the surrounding area, including Old Town, Westside, Lincoln-Johnson, University.
Local housing stock
The typical Pocatello house dates to 1971, with about three quarters of the stock (74.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1971 with three quarters of the stock older, the services were brought in from the street in a single trench rather than separately, so the supply and the drainage run side by side under the same ground on their way into the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 1.46 of the 12.97 inches Pocatello sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at POCATELLO CITY, 0.9 miles away. May is the wettest month at under one and a half inches of a thirteen inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so almost no water arrives from the sky and the ground is frozen for a long stretch; what saturates a trench here comes from the pipes in it.
How water losses tend to end in Pocatello
- Supply and drainage in one trench, so a leak in either saturates the ground around both
- A trench of backfill that is looser than the ground around it, so water follows it toward the building
- One excavation reaching both services, so the repair is simpler than the diagnosis
