What drying runs into in Norwalk
Serving Norwalk and the surrounding area, including South Norwalk, Saugatuck Shores, Saugatuck, Boston Post Road Historic District.
Local housing stock
78.4 percent of Norwalk's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1967, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. The median house dates to 1967 and just under four in five predate 1990, frame over full basements and crawl spaces, so a coastal-storm loss reaches the basement from the outside and the water table keeps the base of the wall loaded afterward.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 5.15 of the 51.37 inches Norwalk sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at NORWALK 2.9 NNW 3 miles away and temperatures at STAMFORD 5 N 7 miles away. September is the wettest month at 5.15 inches out of 51.37 for the year, with four months below freezing and January lows near 22 degrees, so the heaviest rain arrives in the storm season while the ground is still warm and saturated.
How water losses tend to end in Norwalk
- Tidal ground water keeping the base of foundation walls loaded between storms
- September storms arriving on ground that is already saturated from the summer
- Basements in the low streets taking water from outside rather than from a fixture
