What drying runs into in Binghamton
Serving Binghamton and the surrounding area, including Downtown Binghamton, Southside, Northside, Westside, Eastside, First Ward.
Local housing stock
Only 6.4 percent of Binghamton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1945 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1945 with more than nine in ten houses older, the distribution mains under the older neighborhoods are cast iron of much the same age as the houses, and they fail regularly rather than exceptionally.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Binghamton have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 15.5 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.51 inches of an annual 43.08; rain recorded at BINGHAMTON 1.3 ENE 1.3 miles away and temperatures at BINGHAMTON 7.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.51 inches of a 43-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the ground freezes deeply and moves; old cast iron in ground that is heaving is broken by the movement rather than by pressure.
How water losses tend to end in Binghamton
- A failure in the street rather than on the property, so the source is not the householder's
- Water under pressure arriving through the ground, so it is driven at the foundation rather than soaking
- Losses concentrated in the freeze, so they arrive when the ground cannot absorb anything
