What drying runs into in Somerville
Serving Somerville and the surrounding area, including Winter Hill, Somerville, Massachusetts, Winter Hill, Spring Hill, Magoun Square, Prospect Hill, Union Square, Ten Hills, Ball Square.
Local housing stock
Roughly 31,795 of Somerville's 37,756 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1938; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1938 with more than eight in ten buildings older, the top story is contained within a steeply pitched mansard whose near-vertical face is slated or shingled, so what reads as a wall from the street is a roof surface.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 49.29 inches, 4.97 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 74.1 degrees in July; rain recorded at CAMBRIDGE 0.9 NNW 1.3 miles away and temperatures at BOSTON LOGAN INTL AP 5.1 miles away. December is the wettest month at 4.97 inches of a 49-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wettest month arrives with the heating on; a near-vertical roof face with a heated room directly behind it is worked from both sides.
How water losses tend to end in Somerville
- A roof surface with living space immediately behind it, so there is no attic to catch anything
- A steep face that sheds fast onto a flat top, so the water concentrates at the junction
- Dormers cut into that face, so each window is a penetration through a roof rather than a wall
