What drying runs into in Columbus
Serving Columbus and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Columbus house dates to 1972, with about three quarters of the stock (74.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1972 with three quarters of the stock older, the residential streets sit alongside the elevators and sidings that the town grew around, on ground raised and compacted for loading rather than graded for houses.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.69 of the 28.67 inches Columbus sees in a normal year, and July averages 76.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at COLUMBUS 3 NE, 2.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.69 inches of a 29-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; a raised compacted yard sheds all of it toward whatever is lower.
How water losses tend to end in Columbus
- Ground raised for rail operations, so the industrial land sits above the houses beside it
- Compacted surfaces shedding rather than absorbing, so runoff volume is high
- Drainage built for the railway, so the houses are downstream of a system not designed for them
