Local housing stock
75 percent of Fort Wayne's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1972, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1972 with three quarters of the stock older, the standard elevation puts a wide covered porch across the front with its roof pitched gently back into the wall of the house, and that junction is tucked up under the siding above it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 38.67 inches, 4.72 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 73.8 degrees in July; rain recorded at FORT WAYNE 4.1 NE 3.6 miles away and temperatures at FT WAYNE INTL AP 8.8 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.72 inches of a 39-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes late in summer and the junction then holds ice through the winter; a low pitch drains slowly under either condition.
How water losses tend to end in Fort Wayne
- A shallow pitch running into a wall, so water slows exactly where it has to leave
- Flashing concealed behind the siding, so the detail cannot be looked at without opening the wall
- Water entering above the porch ceiling, so it appears inside the house rather than on the porch
