What drying runs into in Twin Falls
Serving Twin Falls and the surrounding area, including Downtown, City Park, Warehouse, Original Townsite.
Local housing stock
The typical Twin Falls house dates to 1982, with close to three fifths of the stock (56 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1982 with about half the stock older, the houses sit on ground where the soil layer is thin and basalt is close beneath it, so excavations are shallow, basements are uncommon and what is under a slab is rock rather than earth.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Twin Falls gets 9.2 inches a year with December heaviest at 1.31, and the drying season runs from a 31.1-degree December to a 75.2-degree July; both figures recorded at TWIN FALLS-KMVT, 1.2 miles away. December is the wettest month at just over an inch of a nine inch year, with five months averaging a low below freezing; almost nothing falls, but what does reach the ground moves across rock rather than soaking into soil.
How water losses tend to end in Twin Falls
- A thin soil layer over rock, so water reaching the ground travels on the stone rather than draining down
- Shallow foundations, so the building sits in the same layer the water is moving through
- Drainage that works by luck rather than design, because there is nowhere for a system to discharge to
