What drying runs into in Fair Lawn
Serving Fair Lawn and the surrounding area, including Radburn, Dunkerhook, Arcola.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Fair Lawn were built and the answer is 1953 at the median, 91.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1953 with nine in ten houses older, the main drain runs out under the basement floor with an access cap set flush in the slab, and that opening is the lowest point in the whole drainage system and the first place anything backing up will find.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.79 of the 49.25 inches Fair Lawn sees in a normal year, and July averages 78 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at GLEN ROCK 0.7 SSE 1.1 miles away and temperatures at TETERBORO AP 6.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-nine inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in warm weather; a system under load in that month surfaces at the cleanout before it reaches any fixture in the house.
How water losses tend to end in Fair Lawn
- An access cap flush in the basement slab, so the lowest opening in the system is in the floor rather than at a fixture
- Drain water arriving at floor level, so the loss is contaminated and it starts at the lowest point of the building
- A cap often covered by flooring or storage, so it surfaces underneath something rather than in the open
