Local housing stock
Roughly 7,182 of Sanford's 12,531 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1985; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1985 with under six in ten predating 1990, a good number of these houses have a two-story entry with a window or a half-round light set high above the door, glazed into the front wall at the level of the roof rather than of a floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 79.5 degrees against 41.9; the 46.66 inches a year peak in July at 5.27, rain recorded at SANFORD 6.6 S 7.7 miles away and temperatures at SANFORD 8 NE 7.8 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.27 inches of a 46.66-inch year and one month averages lows below freezing, so heavy summer storms drive rain at the front of the building; glazing set high on that wall takes the worst of it.
How water losses tend to end in Sanford
- A window at a height nothing in the house reaches, over the main entrance
- Water entering high and running the full height of the entry wall
- Damage landing on the entry floor and the stair, which is where everybody walks
