What drying runs into in Derry
Serving Derry and the surrounding area, including East Derry Historic District.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Derry were built and the answer is 1982 at the median, 75.1 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1982 with three quarters predating 1990, a large share of this housing went up in a few busy years when framing material came to site green and was closed in before it had any chance to dry.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Derry have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 14.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in October at 4.86 inches of an annual 46.68; both figures recorded at W HAMPSTEAD, 4.4 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.86 inches of a 46.68-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so the first heating season after construction dried that framing hard and fast; whatever shrinkage was going to happen happened in the first winter.
How water losses tend to end in Derry
- Gaps at plates and around penetrations that opened as the framing dried
- Fasteners that lost their grip, so board and trim moved away from the structure
- A building envelope with more air paths through it than the drawings show
