What drying runs into in Greenleaf
Serving Greenleaf and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 140 of Greenleaf's 150 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1938; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median build year of 1938, the stock is small frame houses on stone and block foundations with cellars, so a loss reaches old dimensional framing and a cellar wall that was laid up long before any damp proofing was ordinary.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 78.8 degrees against 26.1; the 33.17 inches a year peak in May at 5.03, rain recorded at BARNES 0.2 N 5.7 miles away and temperatures at WASHINGTON 6.9 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.03 inches out of 33.17 for the year, with five months below freezing and January lows near 15 degrees, so a heavy spring storm on a village with little drainage runs straight to the nearest cellar.
How water losses tend to end in Greenleaf
- Stone and early block cellar walls laid without damp proofing, taking water through the joints
- Spring storms on ground with little formal drainage, running to the lowest cellar
- A village with no mains drainage, so storm water finds the lowest cellar rather than a culvert
