What drying runs into in Brookhaven
Serving Brookhaven and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
72.7 percent of Brookhaven's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1975, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1975 with nearly three quarters of the stock older, dens, hallways and bedrooms were finished in thin sheet paneling fixed over the studs, sometimes over board and sometimes straight to the framing, and that surface neither absorbs nor shows what is happening behind it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 61.58 inches, 6.52 of them in January, against a warm season that peaks at 80.3 degrees in July; both figures recorded at BROOKHAVEN CITY, 2.6 miles away. January is the wettest month here at over six inches of a sixty-two inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain lands in the coolest part of the year without the building ever getting cold enough to be dry; there is no season at all in which a closed wall will dry itself.
How water losses tend to end in Brookhaven
- Thin paneling over the framing, so a wet wall shows nothing on its face and reads dry to the touch
- Sheets nailed up and painted over, so taking one down to look behind it is destructive rather than exploratory
- A wettest month in midwinter with no cold, dry season behind it, so nothing in the year helps a closed wall dry
