What drying runs into in New Bedford
Serving New Bedford and the surrounding area, including Waterfront, County Street, North Bedford, Acushnet Heights.
Local housing stock
91.1 percent of New Bedford's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1938, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1938 with nine in ten houses older, the fronts project in bays on every floor, and each bay carries a small flat roof where it stops, tying into the wall above it; a three-decker has three of those junctions stacked one over another on the same elevation.
Climate & seasonal risk
March brings 4.82 of the 45.94 inches New Bedford sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at NEW BEDFORD MUNI AP, 1.5 miles away. March is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-six inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives at the end of winter on details that have been through months of freezing; a bay roof that has opened over the winter takes the March rain straight into the wall.
How water losses tend to end in New Bedford
- A small flat roof at every bay, so there are several junctions stacked on one elevation rather than one
- A junction into the wall above, so water entering there is inside the wall of the home on the next floor
- Bays framed out from the main structure, so the floor of each one is a small separate assembly that dries on its own
