What drying runs into in Rockwood
Serving Rockwood and the surrounding area, including Loch Braemar, Bexley West, Bexley, Arrowhead, Lake Crystal Farms, Runnymede, Sky Line Towns, Falling Creek Farms.
Local housing stock
Only 39.6 percent of Rockwood'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 six in ten predating 1990, this housing went up on land cleared in one operation, where the trees came out, the stumps and brush went into a hole on the same site, and the lots were graded over the top.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.51 inches, 4.6 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 79.4 degrees in July; rain recorded at CHESTERFIELD 8.5 WSW 10.3 miles away and temperatures at RICHMOND INTL AP 14.2 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.6 inches of a 45.51-inch year and two months average lows below freezing, so the ground here is wet for much of the year and rarely frozen; buried timber under those conditions breaks down steadily rather than being preserved.
How water losses tend to end in Rockwood
- Ground that keeps settling decades later, so the grade around a house changes slowly and without cause
- Soft areas in a yard with no pattern to them, so drainage develops problems where there were none
- Voids opening beneath drives, patios and walks, which then crack and fall toward the building
