What drying runs into in Linden
Serving Linden and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Linden were built and the answer is 1957 at the median, 85.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1957 with more than eight in ten houses older, the postwar stock was clad in cement shingle, a hard flat board hung on nails through pre-formed holes, which was durable and is now old and fragile.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.11 of the 49.54 inches Linden sees in a normal year, and July averages 78.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at WOODBRIDGE TWP 1.1 NNE 4.4 miles away and temperatures at NEWARK INTL AP 5.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.11 inches of a 50-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the cladding takes heavy summer rain and a real freeze; a brittle board with water in a crack is split a little wider every winter.
How water losses tend to end in Linden
- Cracks radiating from the fixings, so the failures are at regular points across the wall
- A board that cannot be renailed, so a cracked shingle has to be replaced rather than refixed
- Material that matches nothing current, so repairs are visible and replacements are scarce
