What drying runs into in Baltimore
Serving Baltimore and the surrounding area, including Penn-Fallsway, Mount Vernon, Johnston Square, Old Town, Mid-Town Belvedere, Pleasant View Gardens, Chinatown, Greenmount West.
Local housing stock
The typical Baltimore house dates to 1947, with close to nine in ten of the stock (86.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1940s work. Attached brick rowhouses with plaster over brick or lath, wood-joist floors and basements are the standard, so water travels along a party wall and down to the basement rather than out, and the drying has to reach masonry that holds water and a shared wall that two households own.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 81.5 degrees against 36.9; the 43.73 inches a year peak in July at 4.71, both figures recorded at MD SCI CTR BALTIMORE, 1.3 miles away. July brings the heaviest rain and the peak of a humid summer when brick and plaster dry slowest, while two months of freezing lows put split lines on the calendar and the dry heated air of those months helps the run that follows.
How water losses tend to end in Baltimore
- Party walls carrying water from a neighbor's leak into the next house, so both faces of the wall are read and dried rather than one
- Plaster on brick holding moisture in the masonry for weeks, so the wall is dried in place over a long run and closed only on a reading
- Rowhouse basements taking a summer backup or seepage, so the finishes come out under containment and the concrete is dried in the humid months
