What drying runs into in Farmington Hills
Serving Farmington Hills and the surrounding area, including Farmington Historic District.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Farmington Hills were built and the answer is 1978 at the median, 78.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1978 with nearly eight in ten homes predating 1990, a great many houses have a family room or sunroom addition with skylights set into a vaulted ceiling, and the shaft between the roof opening and the ceiling opening is a framed well that takes whatever gets past the curb.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 3.74 of the 34.69 inches Farmington Hills sees in a normal year, and July averages 71.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at FARMINGTON HILLS 1.4 N 1.5 miles away and temperatures at FARMINGTON 1.5 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and that is also when ice at a skylight curb backs water under the flashing; the May rain peak is modest, so it is the winter condition that fills the calendar here.
How water losses tend to end in Farmington Hills
- Framed wells between roof and ceiling, so water entering at a curb is delivered to the middle of a room rather than to an outside wall
- Insulation packed around those wells, so wet material sits against the shaft and the ceiling with no route out
- Vaulted ceilings with no attic above, so the only access to the well is by opening finished board in the room
