What drying runs into in Muskegon
Serving Muskegon and the surrounding area, including Nims, Marsh Field, Campbell Field, Glenside, Lakeside.
Local housing stock
Only 13.5 percent of Muskegon's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1951 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1951 with more than eight in ten houses older, the city sits among active dunes where the sand is fine, loose and constantly redistributed by wind coming in off the lake.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 71.9 degrees against 26.6; the 35.08 inches a year peak in October at 3.8, both figures recorded at MUSKEGON CO AP, 4 miles away. October is the wettest month at 3.8 inches of a 35-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so autumn brings both the rain and the strongest onshore winds; sand moves most in exactly the weeks the rain arrives.
How water losses tend to end in Muskegon
- Window wells filling with sand, so the drainage in them is buried rather than blocked
- Grade rising against the wall without anyone adding to it, so the ground creeps up the siding
- A process that reverses, so evidence of what happened is gone by the time anyone looks
