What drying runs into in Covington
Serving Covington and the surrounding area, including Latonia, Levassor Park, Wallace Woods.
Local housing stock
The typical Covington house dates to 1947, with over four fifths of the stock (80.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1940s work. Around a median of 1947 with four in five houses older, the older stock stands directly on the street line with no front yard at all, which means the public paving comes right up to the wall and there is no ground between the two to take water.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 4.7 of the 43.4 inches Covington sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at CINCINNATI LUNKEN AP, 7.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-three inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; paving that falls toward a wall delivers that rain to the base of the building rather than to a drain.
How water losses tend to end in Covington
- Paving right against the wall, so there is no ground to absorb anything and nowhere for water to go but the building
- A public surface that the household does not control, so its fall and its condition are somebody else's
- Water at the base of a wall with no damp course in much of the stock, so it is drawn straight up
