What drying runs into in Taylor
Serving Taylor and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 13.1 percent of Taylor's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1963 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1963 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, these brick houses have a cast or cut sill beneath every window, set into the masonry when the wall was built and expected to throw water clear of the brick below.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Taylor have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 19.2 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 3.72 inches of an annual 34.32; both figures recorded at DETROIT METRO AP, 3.3 miles away. May is the wettest month at 3.72 inches of a 34.32-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the sill takes spring rain and then holds ice through the winter; freeze and thaw at that joint is what tips a sill over sixty years.
How water losses tend to end in Taylor
- A sill that has lost its fall, so water stands on it rather than running off
- The joint between sill and brick opening as the sill settles backward
- Water taken into the wall beneath every window rather than at one point
