What drying runs into in Goose Creek
Serving Goose Creek and the surrounding area, including Alston Court, Hunters Woods, Bloomfield, The Commons, Gibbes Forest, Planters Walk, Piedmonte Place, Deerfield Place.
Local housing stock
The typical Goose Creek house dates to 2002, with about a third of the stock (33.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 2000s work. Around a median of 2002 with a third of the stock predating 1990, this is newer housing where the last few feet of supply to every sink, toilet and washer is a flexible braided line with a rubber core, rather than rigid pipe run to the fixture.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Goose Creek gets 52.83 inches a year with August heaviest at 7.31, and the drying season runs from a 49.5-degree January to a 82.5-degree July; rain recorded at GOOSE CREEK 3.5 NW 2.7 miles away and temperatures at CHARLESTON INTL AP 6.9 miles away. August is the wettest month at 7.31 inches of a 52.83-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so weather rarely puts water inside a house here; nearly every loss starts at a fixture, and the connector is the weakest part of the run to one.
How water losses tend to end in Goose Creek
- The one component in the system with a service life shorter than the building
- Failures that release at full pressure, so the volume is large from the first minute
- Connectors hidden in cabinets and behind appliances, so their age and condition go unexamined
