What drying runs into in Clifton
Serving Clifton and the surrounding area, including Botany Village, Allwood, Athenia, Delawanna.
Local housing stock
Only 11.5 percent of Clifton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1951 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1951 with nearly nine in ten buildings older, the basements were finished later with the pipework and ducting boxed into soffits running the perimeter and across the ceiling, so there is a continuous closed channel following the services rather than a flat ceiling.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 50.57 inches, 4.91 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 75.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at LITTLE FALLS TWP 0.5 WNW 3.7 miles away and temperatures at LITTLE FALLS 3.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at close to five inches of a fifty-one inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season is dry; a closed soffit wet in June has no ventilation of its own and is drying into the most humid air of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Clifton
- Boxed soffits following the pipe and duct runs, so water from a failure above travels the box rather than dropping into the room
- Closed channels with no ventilation, so the wettest part of the ceiling is the part with the least air movement
- Soffits running the perimeter, so a loss at one end of the building shows at the other
