What drying runs into in Indianapolis
Serving Indianapolis and the surrounding area, including Massachusetts Avenue Commercial District, Chatham-Arch, Young's Sub, Cottage Home, St. Joseph, Holy Cross, Arsenal Heights, Woodruff Place.
Local housing stock
Roughly 281,257 of Indianapolis's 401,428 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1973; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1973 but with a very large older core, the bungalow stock was built with a solid masonry porch balustrade rather than turned posts, capped with a course of brick or stone laid flat across the top.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Indianapolis gets 41.22 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.99, and the drying season runs from a 26.6-degree January to a 74-degree July; rain recorded at INDIANAPOLIS ZOO 2.1 miles away and temperatures at INDIANAPOLIS SE SIDE 5.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.99 inches of a 41-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the cap is wetted heavily in summer and frozen through the winter; masonry that holds water rather than shedding it takes the full cycle.
How water losses tend to end in Indianapolis
- A flat cap on a solid wall, so rain sits on it instead of running off
- Water descending inside the balustrade, so it arrives at the porch slab and the house wall
- Freeze acting on saturated brickwork, so the rail deteriorates from the top down
