What drying runs into in Elizabethtown
Serving Elizabethtown and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
50.2 percent of Elizabethtown's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1990, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 1990 and just over half the houses older, a large part of the stock carries the vinyl window units of that period, where the frame is welded or sealed at each corner during manufacture and everything depends on those four joints.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Elizabethtown have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 24.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 5.79 inches of an annual 54.38; both figures recorded at ELIZABETHTOWN WP CS, 1.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.79 inches of a 54-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so a heavy warm-season rain is the normal test; a frame that has been through thirty summers of expansion meets that with joints that have worked loose.
How water losses tend to end in Elizabethtown
- Sealed joints at the frame corners, so the weak points are four fixed places on every unit
- Water entering low and running inside the wall, so it appears below the opening rather than at it
- Windows that operate perfectly well, so nothing about their use suggests a problem
