What drying runs into in Shelton
Serving Shelton and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Shelton were built and the answer is 1977 at the median, 73.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1977 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, the recurring plan puts a vaulted ceiling over the living room with the rafters exposed or the board fixed straight to them, so there is no attic space above that room and a roof failure arrives on the finished ceiling immediately.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 51 inches, 5.2 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 72.6 degrees in July; rain recorded at SHELTON 1.3 W 1.3 miles away and temperatures at ANSONIA 1 NE 3.9 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and that is also when ice at the eaves backs water under the covering and into a rafter bay with no attic below it; October is the wettest month, arriving just before the building goes cold.
How water losses tend to end in Shelton
- Vaulted ceilings with no attic above, so a roof loss lands on finished board and insulation with nothing in between
- Closed rafter bays packed with insulation, so a wet bay has no access and no air unless the ceiling is opened
- A vaulted room adjoining a flat-ceilinged one, so water crosses from a bay into an attic and the two spaces have to be read separately
