What drying runs into in Richmond
Serving Richmond and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Richmond house dates to 1994, with a little under half of the stock (42.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1990s work. Around a median of 1994 with under half the stock predating 1990, much of this newer housing is served by a low-pressure system, which puts a sealed tank and a pump in the yard of every property instead of a gravity line to the street.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.99 of the 48.12 inches Richmond sees in a normal year, and July averages 76.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at RICHMOND STATE POLICE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIV 2.3 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.99 inches of a 48.12-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so summer storms are heavy and the ground around that tank is wet for long stretches; a chamber sitting in saturated soil takes in what leaks toward it.
How water losses tend to end in Richmond
- A mechanical part in the drainage, so a power cut or a failed pump stops the house draining at all
- Waste backing up to the lowest fixture inside, which is contaminated water on a finished floor
- Equipment buried in the yard that the household did not choose and often does not know is there
