Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Burlington were built and the answer is 1957 at the median, 81.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1957 with over eight in ten predating 1990, this older stock was connected to the street at the depths of its day, and the service line crossing the yard sits close enough to the surface that a hard winter reaches it.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.26 of the 37.53 inches Burlington sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BURLINGTON INTL AP, 4.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.26 inches of a 37.53-inch year and four months average lows below freezing with January lows near 13 degrees, so the frost drives down through a long cold spell; a winter with little snow cover lets it go deeper still.
How water losses tend to end in Burlington
- A failure outside the building, so nothing inside the house indicates where it happened
- Ice forming in a buried line, which splits it where nobody can see or reach it
- Damage appearing at the thaw rather than at the freeze, so cause and effect are weeks apart
