What drying runs into in Bridgeton
Serving Bridgeton and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 14.9 percent of Bridgeton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1956 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. The median build year is 1956 but a great deal of the stock is far older, frame and brick with plaster, wide trim and original sash, so the default of cutting two feet of wall out does not apply and the work is slower, more careful and built around keeping what is there.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 46.79 inches, 4.9 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 76.7 degrees in July; rain recorded at UPPER DEERFIELD TWP 1.7 SW 3.2 miles away and temperatures at SEABROOK FARMS 4 miles away. August is the wettest month and three months average a freezing low, so the year has a warm wet peak and a short split season at the other end; the summer loss is the harder one to dry without cutting, because the outside air offers nothing and old material gives up moisture slowly.
How water losses tend to end in Bridgeton
- Original plaster, trim and sash that cannot simply be replaced, so drying in place is the requirement and the run is longer for it
- Deep trim and thick base holding water against the wall bottoms, so pieces come off and are numbered rather than pried and discarded
- Sandy ground with a shallow water table under many of the older foundations, so a cellar keeps being resupplied while it is being dried
