What drying runs into in Saint Paul
Serving Saint Paul and the surrounding area, including Downtown, Cathedral Hill, Ramsey Hill, Rondo, Summit-University, West Seventh - Fort Road, Frogtown, Crocus Hill.
Local housing stock
Only 14.7 percent of Saint Paul's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1952 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1952 with 85 percent of the stock older, the houses were heated by steam or gravity hot water with a boiler in the basement, and the return piping was run beneath the floor slab rather than overhead where it could be seen.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.63 of the 29.2 inches Saint Paul sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at ST PAUL DOWNTOWN AP, 2.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.63 inches of a 29-inch year and five months average a low below freezing with January lows near nine degrees, so the heating runs for a very long season; buried pipe carrying condensate is working hard for half the year.
How water losses tend to end in Saint Paul
- Heating pipe buried in the floor, so a failure is under concrete rather than in the open
- Condensate running back through steel, so the corrosion is on the inside and invisible
- A wet floor in the heating season, so the timing points at rain and the source is the boiler
