What drying runs into in Parkersburg
Serving Parkersburg and the surrounding area, including Tavennersville, Newport, Riverside, Crestview Park, Lauckport, South Parkersburg, Fairview Heights, South Hills Estates.
Local housing stock
The typical Parkersburg house dates to 1956, with close to nine in ten of the stock (90.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1956 with more than nine in ten houses older, the neighborhoods spread over ground that had been drilled for gas since the last century, and the wells that were abandoned as the fields played out were rarely properly sealed.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Parkersburg have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 24 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.89 inches of an annual 44.21; both figures recorded at PARKERSBURG, 1.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.89 inches of a 44-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the ground loads up through early summer; a well casing that has rusted through is a shaft taking that water straight down.
How water losses tend to end in Parkersburg
- An open shaft in the ground, so surface water has a route to depth beside the building
- No record of most of them, so the presence of one is discovered rather than known
- Ground settling around a collapsed casing, so a hollow can open with nothing above to explain it
