What drying runs into in Florence
Serving Florence and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Florence house dates to 1985, with close to three fifths of the stock (55.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. Around a median of 1985 with just over half the stock older, the developments were cut into rolling country by taking the high ground down and filling the ravines with it, which leaves neighboring houses on entirely different material.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Florence gets 45.26 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.75, and the drying season runs from a 31.4-degree January to a 75.9-degree July; both figures recorded at CINCINNATI NORTHERN KY AP, 3.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.75 inches of a 45-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; fill placed over a hollow still follows the line of the old drainage course beneath it.
How water losses tend to end in Florence
- Fill over an old drainage line, so water still runs along the buried course under the lot
- Two houses on the same street on cut and on fill, so they behave nothing alike
- Fill that continues to settle, so the ground and the paving over it keep moving
