What drying runs into in Chattanooga

Local housing stock
Only 35.6 percent of Chattanooga's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1976 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1976 with nearly two thirds predating 1990, much of this housing is built into the sides of the ridges, which puts a door at basement level reached down a walled well dug back into the bank behind the house.
Climate & seasonal risk
March brings 5.34 of the 55 inches Chattanooga sees in a normal year, and July averages 80.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at CHATTANOOGA LOVELL AP, 3.6 miles away. March is the wettest month at 5.34 inches of a 55-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wettest weather comes in late-winter storms onto ground that is already saturated; a pit cut into a wet slope collects what the slope is carrying.
How water losses tend to end in Chattanooga
- A walled pit below grade against the building, relying on one small drain
- Ground water arriving through the walls of the well as well as rain falling into it
- A door at the bottom of it, so anything the drain cannot take goes into the basement
