What drying runs into in Evansville
Serving Evansville and the surrounding area, including Ballard, Lakewood Hills, Downtown, Riverside, Knob Hill, Country Club Meadows, Independence.
Local housing stock
The typical Evansville house dates to 1961, with over four fifths of the stock (83 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1960s work. Around a median of 1961 with more than four in five houses older, the houses connect to a system that carries both drainage and storm water in one pipe, and unless a valve was fitted on the house side there is nothing between the basement and whatever that system is carrying.
Climate & seasonal risk
2 months in Evansville have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 27.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in April at 5.22 inches of an annual 47.79; both figures recorded at EVANSVILLE MUSEUM, 2.6 miles away. April is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year with two months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring; that is when a combined system is fullest and when a basement without a valve finds out.
How water losses tend to end in Evansville
- A system carrying drainage and storm water together, so a heavy rain loads the pipe the house drains into
- No valve on the house side in much of the stock, so there is nothing to stop a surcharge coming back
- Water arriving at the lowest fixture, so the basement takes it rather than the street
