What drying runs into in Huntingtown
Serving Huntingtown and the surrounding area, including Marley Run, Twin Ponds, Bell Haven, Kavadias Estates.
Local housing stock
Roughly 359 of Huntingtown's 969 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1995; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1995 and under four in ten houses older, the large lots here made ground-source heating practical, so a considerable number have several hundred feet of pipe buried in trenches or bores across the garden.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 5.22 of the 47.76 inches Huntingtown sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at HUNTINGTOWN 2.9 NNW 2.9 miles away and temperatures at MECHANICSVILLE 5 NE 10 miles away. September is the wettest month at 5.22 inches of a 48-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the ground is wet in autumn and the system runs hardest in the months after; the loop is working in saturated ground.
How water losses tend to end in Huntingtown
- Several hundred feet of buried pipe, so there is a great deal of line to fail somewhere
- A leak of circulating fluid rather than water, so what is in the ground is not plain water
- Trenches that settle, so the ground above the loop stays lower than the yard around it
