What drying runs into in Bowling Green
Serving Bowling Green and the surrounding area, including Shake Rag, College Hill, St. Joseph's, Magnolia Street.
Local housing stock
The typical Bowling Green house dates to 1991, with about half of the stock (49 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1990s work. With a median of 1991 and about half the stock older, the houses sit on limestone that has been dissolved into channels and voids over a long time, so the ground beneath a foundation does not drain evenly downward the way soil does; it drains through openings.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 50.1 inches, 5.03 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 79.7 degrees in July; both figures recorded at BOWLING GREEN WARREN CO AP, 1 miles away. May is the wettest month at five inches of a fifty inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; ground that drains through openings takes that rain away quickly and then delivers it somewhere nobody expected.
How water losses tend to end in Bowling Green
- Ground that drains through channels rather than evenly, so water beneath a building moves sideways and arrives elsewhere
- A basement that takes water with no rain falling on it, because what arrives came from somewhere upslope through the rock
- Drainage that works perfectly for years and then changes, because the route underground shifts rather than staying fixed
