What drying runs into in Corbin
Serving Corbin and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 2,598 of Corbin's 3,480 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1975; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1975 with three quarters of the stock older, a good share of these properties take water from their own well with the pump and the pressure tank housed in a small separate structure over it, rather than inside the building they serve.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.16 of the 51.26 inches Corbin sees in a normal year, and July averages 76.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at LONDON CORBIN AP, 10.8 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a fifty-one inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the freeze is short but real; a small unheated structure in that climate is at outdoor temperature every night of the winter.
How water losses tend to end in Corbin
- Pressurized equipment in an unheated outbuilding, so the most vulnerable part of the system is the coldest
- A failure that happens away from the house, so it runs unnoticed and the house simply loses water
- Water discharging into the ground beside an outbuilding, so the damage is often to the well rather than to a room
