What drying runs into in Burlington

Local housing stock
The typical Burlington house dates to 1978, with roughly two thirds of the stock (62.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1970s work. Around a median of 1978 with over six in ten predating 1990, these houses sit over crawl spaces reached through a framed doorway in the foundation wall rather than a small vent-sized hatch, so there is an opening in the wall the height of a person.
Climate & seasonal risk
One month in Burlington has a normal low below freezing, January at 30.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 4.91 inches of an annual 47.06; both figures recorded at BURLINGTON FIRE STN #5, 1.6 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.91 inches of a 47.06-inch year and one month averages lows below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes as tropical remnants late in the year; several inches falling in a day is what finds an opening at ground level.
How water losses tend to end in Burlington
- A large opening low in the foundation, so surface water has a way in that no vent would give it
- A door sill at grade or below it, so the seal depends on ground that moves and settles
- Water entering at one point and spreading across the whole crawl, so the whole underfloor gets wet
