What drying runs into in University City
Serving University City and the surrounding area, including Varsity neighborhood.
Local housing stock
Only 10.6 percent of University City's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1949 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1949 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the blocks were built with the sewer in the alley behind rather than in the street, so each house drains out the back with its lateral running under the structure.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 43.91 inches, 4.9 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 80.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at ST LOUIS SCI CTR, 4.1 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.9 inches of a 44-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the ground loads up in spring; a clay lateral under a building is being worked by wet ground exactly when it is carrying most.
How water losses tend to end in University City
- A drain line beneath the building rather than beside it, so a failure discharges under the floor
- No access to it from either side, so repair means going through the basement floor
- Ground being washed out under the footings, so a plumbing fault becomes a structural one
