What drying runs into in Malden
Serving Malden and the surrounding area, including Malden Gaming District, Bryant Terrace Apartments, Bowdoin Apartments.
Local housing stock
77.9 percent of Malden's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1950, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1950 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the walls are plaster floated onto wood lath rather than board, and there are two materials to dry: a hard face that gives its moisture up reasonably well, and wet strapping behind it that the room never reaches.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 50.54 inches, 5.19 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 74.1 degrees in July; rain recorded at CHELSEA 0.8 N 1.9 miles away and temperatures at BOSTON LOGAN INTL AP 5.3 miles away. December is the wettest month here at over five inches of a fifty-one inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands when the building is shut and heated; there is no option to open a window and dry into outdoor air, so every bit of it is condensed out mechanically.
How water losses tend to end in Malden
- Wet lath behind sound plaster, so the wall face reads dry while the strapping behind it is still wet
- Plaster keys broken by the weight of water, so a wall that survived the soaking lets go from the lath weeks later
- A wettest month in midwinter, so the losses that need ventilation arrive in the one season when opening the building is useless
