Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Salem were built and the answer is 1938 at the median, 86.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1938 with nearly nine in ten houses older, and a great deal of it far older than that, the houses were built with a shallow cellar and the frame started only a course or two above the outside ground.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.26 inches, 4.83 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 70.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at MARBLEHEAD 0.8 SW 1.2 miles away and temperatures at MARBLEHEAD 1.7 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.83 inches of a 47-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wettest ground of the year arrives just before the freeze; timber at soil level takes that up and then holds it frozen until spring.
How water losses tend to end in Salem
- The frame starting just above the ground, so the oldest timber is the most exposed
- A shallow cellar, so there is little depth between the outside ground and the floor inside
- Ground that has risen over centuries, so on many houses the sill is now below the outside level
