What drying runs into in Newington Forest
Serving Newington Forest and the surrounding area, including Chapel Acres, Pohick Hills, Rollingwood, Spring Hill, Lorfax Heights, Terre Grande, Springfield Oaks, Laurel Crest.
Local housing stock
Roughly 3,702 of Newington Forest's 4,345 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1984; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1984 with 85 percent of the stock older, the rows were built stepping down the slope rather than cut into a level terrace, so adjoining units are offset vertically and share a party wall across that offset.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 75.2 degrees against 32.9; the 47.3 inches a year peak in September at 4.95, rain recorded at FRANCONIA 1.3 SSE 5.2 miles away and temperatures at VIENNA 11 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.95 inches of a 47-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm month; water in the ground on a slope moves down through it, and the lower units are down.
How water losses tend to end in Newington Forest
- Units offset vertically along a row, so one household's floor is below the next one's
- A shared wall across that offset, so water travels between homes rather than out of one
- The lowest unit in a row receiving from several above, so the position determines the risk
