What drying runs into in Dearborn
Serving Dearborn and the surrounding area, including Springwells Park, West Dearborn Downtown, Snow Woods, Morley Area Residents Association, East Dearborn Downtown, Morley Area, Riverbend, Ford Homes District.
Local housing stock
Roughly 34,650 of Dearborn's 39,394 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1952; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1952 with nearly nine in ten homes predating 1990, the characteristic house is a brick bungalow with the upper half-story built out inside the roof line, so there is no attic buffer above the finished rooms and water coming through the roof arrives directly onto plaster and knee-wall framing.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 35.05 inches, 3.6 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 72.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at DEARBORN, 1.4 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing put the split season from December into March, and the ice that forms at the eaves in that stretch backs water under the covering and straight into finished space; May is the wettest month, but the winter is what fills the calendar.
How water losses tend to end in Dearborn
- Finished half-stories built inside the roof, so a roof loss reaches plaster and finishes with no attic space in between
- Knee walls with dead space behind them, so water runs into a void that has no access and no air movement
- Insulation packed into the rafter bays above finished ceilings, so wet material sits directly against the plaster and holds it damp
