What drying runs into in Short Pump

Local housing stock
Only 80.7 percent of Short Pump's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1999 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1999 and only a fifth of the stock older, the subdivisions were built alongside a widened highway corridor, and long acoustic barriers were put up between the road and the houses.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.9 inches, 4.81 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 77.2 degrees in July; rain recorded at GLEN ALLEN 4.6 W 2.8 miles away and temperatures at ASHLAND 10 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.81 inches of a 48-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer; a continuous wall across the fall of the ground holds that on its uphill side.
How water losses tend to end in Short Pump
- A solid acoustic barrier across the fall, so surface water is held rather than passed
- Few openings through it, so the flow concentrates where any gap exists
- A structure belonging to the highway authority, so it is outside the subdivision's control
