What drying runs into in Fargo
Serving Fargo and the surrounding area, including Westgate, West Acres, Prairiewood, Jefferson/Carl Ben, South High, Village West, Lewis & Clark, Madison/Unicorn Park.
Local housing stock
Roughly 31,136 of Fargo's 63,807 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1991; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1991 and about half the stock older, the basements are deep and the valley floor is flat and slow to drain, so in the spring the water in the ground stands higher than the basement slab and the floor is holding it down rather than resting on it.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.37 of the 24.68 inches Fargo sees in a normal year, and July averages 70.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at FARGO 1.2 ESE 1.8 miles away and temperatures at FARGO 3S 2.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at under four and a half inches of a twenty-five inch year, six months average a low below freezing and January runs below zero, so the melt and the rain arrive together in a short season; the ground goes from frozen to saturated in a matter of weeks.
How water losses tend to end in Fargo
- A water table standing above the floor in spring, so the slab is under pressure from below rather than taking water from the side
- Water coming up through joints and cracks in the floor, so the wet area starts in the middle of the room
- A load that lasts as long as the melt, so pumping is continuous for weeks rather than during a storm
