What drying runs into in Lamington
Serving Lamington and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 22 of Lamington's 59 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1995; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1995 and under four in ten houses predating 1990, the heating is a sealed unit that takes its air from outside and pushes its exhaust back out, through a pair of plastic pipes passing low through the wall near the equipment.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 5.18 of the 45.49 inches Lamington sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SOMERVILLE SOMERSET AP, 3.8 miles away. August is the wettest month at 5.18 inches of a 45-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the pipes sit in snow for part of the year and in splash the rest; both terminations are at the height where that collects.
How water losses tend to end in Lamington
- Two openings through the wall close to the ground, so they are at the level water reaches
- An intake that draws air inward, so anything at that opening is pulled in rather than shed
- Snow and leaves collecting around the terminations, so they are blocked by what lands on them
