What drying runs into in Torrington
Serving Torrington and the surrounding area, including Downtown Torrington Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical Torrington house dates to 1960, with close to nine in ten of the stock (87 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1960s work. Around a median of 1960 with nearly nine in ten homes predating 1990, a great many of the basements are built in block made with coal ash rather than modern aggregate, and that material is far more open: it takes water up readily through itself and holds it long after a poured wall would have released.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 70 degrees against 24; the 54.25 inches a year peak in October at 5.4, both figures recorded at BAKERSVILLE, 6.3 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing and January lows near fifteen degrees make a long cold season, and a porous block wall holding water through it spalls at the face; the October rain peak arrives immediately before that stretch, which is the sequence that does the damage.
How water losses tend to end in Torrington
- Block made with ash rather than modern aggregate, so the foundation wicks strongly and holds water far longer than a poured wall
- That wall spalling at the face after a wet winter, so damage from one season shows up in the next
- Finishes fastened to it in finished basements, so the most absorbent wall in the building is also the most enclosed
