What drying runs into in Lewiston
Serving Lewiston and the surrounding area, including South Lewiston, Robinson Corner.
Local housing stock
85.7 percent of Lewiston's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1957, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1957 with more than eight in ten buildings older, the three-deckers were built with a single masonry stack carrying separate flues for each unit's heating and cooking, all bundled together inside one chimney.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Lewiston gets 45.18 inches a year with October heaviest at 4.9, and the drying season runs from a 20-degree January to a 70.8-degree July; both figures recorded at LEWISTON, 2.3 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.9 inches of a 45-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the stack is soaked in autumn and frozen through a long winter; a chimney with six voids in it has a great deal of internal surface to be worked on.
How water losses tend to end in Lewiston
- Several flues inside one stack, so there are thin divisions of old mortar between them
- A stack running through every floor, so a wet chimney is wet at every level of the building
- Separate households on separate flues, so the responsibility for it is divided six ways
