What drying runs into in Gloucester
Serving Gloucester and the surrounding area, including Central Gloucester Historic District.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Gloucester were built and the answer is 1946 at the median, 84.1 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1946 with over eight in ten predating 1990, the older bathrooms in this stock keep a freestanding tub on feet, set out from the wall with the plumbing exposed rather than built into a tiled recess.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 48.02 inches, 4.99 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 70 degrees in July; both figures recorded at BEVERLY, 8.2 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.99 inches of a 48.02-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so these rooms are cold for half the year; a floor that gets splashed daily in an unheated bathroom does not dry between wettings.
How water losses tend to end in Gloucester
- Water landing on the floor rather than being contained by a surround
- A shower fitting over a tub that was never intended to have one
- Old boards taking that water at the same few spots every day for decades
