What drying runs into in Topeka
Serving Topeka and the surrounding area, including Potwin, College Hill, Old Town, Ward-Meade.
Local housing stock
Roughly 47,461 of Topeka's 59,868 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1967; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1967 with nearly four in five houses older, a good share of the houses have an attached garage set at or slightly below the level of the drive, and the drive runs down to it, so the whole paved area drains to the door.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 5.42 of the 37.91 inches Topeka sees in a normal year, and July averages 78.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at TOPEKA 2.1 WSW 1.8 miles away and temperatures at TOPEKA - NWS 4.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a thirty-eight inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; a drive that funnels to a door delivers that rain to the one opening in the building at ground level.
How water losses tend to end in Topeka
- A paved area falling to the garage door, so the drive collects and delivers rather than sheds
- A door at the low point, so the building's largest opening is where the water arrives
- A slab inside that may not fall back out, so what gets in stays in the garage rather than running away
