What drying runs into in Ashland
Serving Ashland and the surrounding area, including South Ashland.
Local housing stock
85.1 percent of Ashland's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1965, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1965 with more than four in five houses older, the basement openings were fitted with steel frames bedded directly into the block, and that metal has been in contact with damp masonry for sixty years; as it corrodes it expands and works the block apart around the opening.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Ashland gets 46.68 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.85, and the drying season runs from a 31.2-degree January to a 75-degree July; both figures recorded at ASHLAND, 1.8 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-seven inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; block that has been split at a window is taking that rain directly into the wall rather than shedding it.
How water losses tend to end in Ashland
- Steel frames bedded into block, so corroding metal opens the masonry around the opening
- A crack that widens each year, so the wall takes more water each season than it did the last
- Damage concentrated at the openings, so the wet areas in a basement are predictable and repeat
