What drying runs into in Garden City
Serving Garden City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Garden City house dates to 1977, with about three quarters of the stock (74.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1970s work. The median house dates to 1977 and three quarters predate 1990, frame with brick or lap siding over basements and crawl spaces, so when a storm outruns the flat ground the water arrives at the basement wall in quantity rather than seeping, and the finishes come off at the base.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 3.16 of the 19.55 inches Garden City sees in a normal year, and July averages 78.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at GARDEN CITY EXP STN, 2.4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 3.16 inches out of 19.55 for the year, so the rain that does fall lands in a few intense summer events, while five months below freezing and January lows near 17 degrees put the other losses inside the walls.
How water losses tend to end in Garden City
- Heavy summer storms outrunning flat ground that cannot take the water fast enough, so it reaches the basement wall at volume
- Very dry air making finished surfaces read dry well ahead of the framing
- Wind-driven rain in summer storms reaching wall cavities at the gable ends
