What drying runs into in Aurora
Serving Aurora and the surrounding area, including Scraper-Moecherville, Marywood, Autumn Grove, Haven on Long Grove, Frontenac, Exposition View, South Park.
Local housing stock
The typical Aurora house dates to 1987, with about half of the stock (53.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Around a median of 1987 but with a large older core, the brick stock carries a cut limestone lintel spanning each window and door, bedded into the masonry with a mortar joint running along its top edge.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 39.47 inches, 4.86 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 74.4 degrees in July; both figures recorded at AURORA, 1.5 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.86 inches of a 39-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wall takes heavy spring rain and then a long freeze; a joint above a stone lintel holds water and ice through all of it.
How water losses tend to end in Aurora
- An open joint directly above a window, so what enters arrives at the head of the opening
- Stone and brick moving differently, so the joint between them reopens after it is pointed
- A detail repeated at every opening, so the same fault appears a dozen times on one house
