What drying runs into in Columbus
Serving Columbus and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
83 percent of Columbus's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1974, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1974 with more than four in five houses older, the bathrooms were planned with the fixtures against an outside wall and the supply and waste run in it, which puts the pipework in an assembly exposed to the weather on one face.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 56.64 inches, 5.81 of them in April, against a warm season that peaks at 83.2 degrees in July; both figures recorded at COLUMBUS, 3.1 miles away. April is the wettest month at close to six inches of a fifty-seven inch year with no freezing month at all, so the wall is warm and damp for most of the year rather than cold; the pipework in it sits in an assembly that takes driving rain from outside and holds it.
How water losses tend to end in Columbus
- Supply and waste in an outside wall, so the pipework shares a cavity with whatever the weather puts into it
- A wall that is wet from two directions, so a failure inside is hard to separate from water coming in
- Insulation packed round the pipes, so the material holding water is against the very thing that failed
