What drying runs into in Brandermill
Serving Brandermill and the surrounding area, including Timber Ridge, Winterberry Ridge, Poplar Grove, McTyres Cove, Pebble Creek, Muirfield Green, Old Fox Trail, Commodore Point.
Local housing stock
Only 36.3 percent of Brandermill's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1987 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1987 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, the development was laid out to keep the trees and the natural contours, which means the houses were fitted to the ground rather than the ground being regraded around the houses.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 4.6 of the 45.51 inches Brandermill sees in a normal year, and July averages 79.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at CHESTERFIELD 8.5 WSW 7.5 miles away and temperatures at RICHMOND INTL AP 18.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.6 inches of a 46-inch year and two months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm month under a full canopy; ground that was never shaped to shed water simply holds it where it falls.
How water losses tend to end in Brandermill
- No built fall around the buildings, so water is not directed anywhere in particular
- Original forest soil against the foundations, so the ground there holds rather than drains
- Trees close to the walls, so regrading now means working around roots that cannot be cut
