What drying runs into in New Britain
Serving New Britain and the surrounding area, including Little Poland, Downtown New Britain, Barrio Latino, City Hall–Monument Historic District, West End Historic District, Walnut Hill Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical New Britain house dates to 1956, with close to nine in ten of the stock (92.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1956 with over nine in ten predating 1990, the older part of this stock keeps a cool store cut back beyond the main cellar, a small room with an earth or rough concrete floor entered through a door in the foundation wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in New Britain have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 20.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in April at 4.56 inches of an annual 48.02; rain recorded at NEWINGTON 1.9 SSW 2.6 miles away and temperatures at HARTFORD BRAINARD FLD 8.1 miles away. April is the wettest month at 4.56 inches of a 48.02-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the ground around the house is at its wettest just as the cellar begins to warm; that room is colder than the rest of it and condenses whatever the warmer air brings in.
How water losses tend to end in New Britain
- A space outside the original foundation line, with less protection than the cellar has
- An earth floor giving up moisture continuously into a closed room
- A room used for storage, so what is damaged is belongings rather than structure
