What drying runs into in Rockford
Serving Rockford and the surrounding area, including North Highland Square, Jackson Oaks, Prairie Hill, Churchill's Grove, Downtown Rockford, Edgewater, Central Park, Beverly Park.
Local housing stock
Roughly 56,294 of Rockford's 67,423 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1963; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1963 with more than four in five houses older, the attics were topped up with blown insulation at some point after they were built, and in a low-pitch roof that material runs out to the edge and covers the openings at the eaves that the space was designed to breathe through.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.35 of the 37.96 inches Rockford sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at ROCKFORD 0.7 NW 1.3 miles away and temperatures at ROCKFORD GTR ROCKFORD AP 4.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at over five inches of a thirty-eight inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season long; an attic that cannot ventilate takes moisture from the house all winter and has no way to lose it.
How water losses tend to end in Rockford
- Insulation covering the openings at the eaves, so the ventilation the roof depends on has been closed off
- A low pitch that leaves no room at the edge, so the material runs right out over the vents
- Moisture from the house accumulating all winter, so the sheathing is damp before any loss occurs
