What drying runs into in Peabody
Serving Peabody and the surrounding area, including Danversport.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Peabody were built and the answer is 1966 at the median, 76.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1966 with three quarters of the stock older, a good share of the post-war building here went onto low ground that was filled to make it buildable, and that fill is organic material that holds water and continues to consolidate decades later.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Peabody have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 19.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in March at 5.07 inches of an annual 49.07; rain recorded at DANVERS 0.8 ESE 2.9 miles away and temperatures at BEVERLY MUNI AP 4.3 miles away. March 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 arrives at the thaw; filled marsh takes that water and holds it, and the ground around a foundation stays charged into the summer.
How water losses tend to end in Peabody
- Organic fill under the building, so the ground holds water rather than draining and releases it slowly
- Continuing settlement, so foundations and slabs move and joints open long after construction
- A water table that sits high in the fill, so below-grade walls are working against a supply rather than an event
