What drying runs into in Saratoga Springs
Serving Saratoga Springs and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
66.7 percent of Saratoga Springs's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1975, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1975 with two thirds of the stock older, the water supply for much of this housing comes from a well rather than a main, so the equipment that pressurizes the house sits inside it: a tank, a switch and the pipework around them, all in the basement and all under pressure.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.21 of the 47.45 inches Saratoga Springs sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at SARATOGA SPRINGS 0.5 S 0.5 miles away and temperatures at SARATOGA SPRINGS 4 SW 2.8 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-seven inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in the most humid part of the year; a basement that took water in July is the dampest space in the building at the dampest time, and none of the drying happens without equipment.
How water losses tend to end in Saratoga Springs
- The pressurized equipment standing in the basement, so a failure there delivers into the lowest room in the house
- A pump that keeps running to meet the demand it sees, so the supply continues until somebody cuts the power rather than closing a valve
- No shutoff at the street, so stopping the water depends on knowing where the controls are
