What drying runs into in Beverly
Serving Beverly and the surrounding area, including Beverly Center Business District, Fish Flake Hill Historic District.
Local housing stock
Roughly 14,778 of Beverly's 17,630 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1956; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1956 with more than eight in ten houses older, a great many were built in the colonial revival manner with the upper floor projecting a few inches beyond the lower one, the floor joists running out to form that overhang.
Climate & seasonal risk
October brings 4.99 of the 48.02 inches Beverly sees in a normal year, and July averages 70 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BEVERLY, 2.2 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.99 inches of a 48-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wall is soaked in autumn and frozen through winter; the underside of an overhang stays wet and never sees sun.
How water losses tend to end in Beverly
- Structural joist ends in the outside wall, so what is wet is framing rather than trim
- An underside that never dries, so the affected face is the one nothing reaches
- A line running right across the elevation, so the condition is continuous rather than local
