What drying runs into in Monessen
Serving Monessen and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Monessen were built and the answer is 1953 at the median, 98 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1953 with essentially the whole stock predating 1990, this housing stands on a hillside above the river in rows stepped down the slope, so the lowest house on a street receives what the ones above it shed.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Monessen have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 21.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.33 inches of an annual 40.92; both figures recorded at CHARLEROI LOCK 4, 0.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.33 inches of a 40.92-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the heaviest rain falls in summer storms that arrive quickly; water moving at speed down a steep street is exactly what a drain opening cannot catch.
How water losses tend to end in Monessen
- Water moving too fast to be intercepted, so the drainage on the street does not do what it appears to do
- The lowest property on a block taking the whole street's runoff, so the problem belongs to one house
- Driveways and steps cut into the slope, each of which turns some of that flow toward a building
