What drying runs into in Montrose
Serving Montrose and the surrounding area, including Eastover Gardens, Gilbert Gardens, Montrose Heights, Hechler Village, Fulton Hill, Windsor Place, Virginia Heights, Lower Rocketts.
Local housing stock
The typical Montrose house dates to 1979, with about three quarters of the stock (75 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1970s work. Around a median of 1979 with three quarters of the stock older, these properties were on their own drainage before the sewer reached them, and when they were connected the tank was usually disconnected and left where it was rather than removed or filled.
Climate & seasonal risk
2 months in Montrose have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 28.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 4.9 inches of an annual 45.5; both figures recorded at RICHMOND INTL AP, 3.2 miles away. August is the wettest month at close to five inches of a forty-six inch year with two months averaging a low below freezing; that peak matters here because it is when the ground is softest, and a buried tank that is going to collapse does it then.
How water losses tend to end in Montrose
- A buried void in the yard, so there is a hole in the ground near the house that nobody has recorded
- A tank that collapses rather than leaks, so the failure is sudden and the ground opens
- Old drainage runs still in the ground, so water can travel along them toward the building
