What drying runs into in Fitchburg
Serving Fitchburg and the surrounding area, including Pierce Farm.
Local housing stock
Only 13.9 percent of Fitchburg's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1950 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1950 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, a good share of this stock is multi-family with a central stair running the full height of the building, daylit through a glazed opening in the roof directly above it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 49.6 inches, 5.31 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 70.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at FITCHBURG COOP, 1.2 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.31 inches of a 49.6-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so the glazing takes autumn rain and then holds snow and ice for months; warm air rising up the shaft keeps the underside of it wet all winter.
How water losses tend to end in Fitchburg
- A roof opening directly over a shaft that runs to the lowest floor
- Warm moist air collecting against cold glass, so condensation forms whether or not it leaks
- Water falling the full height of the building rather than onto one ceiling
