Local housing stock
Roughly 28,856 of Newton's 33,959 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1942; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1942 with more than four in five houses older, a great many of these buildings have acquired a sunroom or conservatory at some point, usually added rather than original, and that structure has far more glass and far less insulation than anything it is attached to.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74.4 degrees against 28.2; the 49.36 inches a year peak in December at 5.08, both figures recorded at JAMAICA PLAIN, 4.7 miles away. December is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-nine inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the coldest part of the year; a glazed room in that stretch runs cold and streams with condensation while the house beside it is warm and dry.
How water losses tend to end in Newton
- A glazed structure attached to a conventional house, so two very different environments meet at one wall
- Condensation forming inside the glazed room through the winter, so it produces its own water without any leak
- A junction between an addition and the original wall, so the two move differently and the joint opens
