What drying runs into in Oradell
Serving Oradell and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 6.9 percent of Oradell'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. Around a median of 1956 with over nine in ten predating 1990, these houses were finished with stone paving at the front walk and the rear patio, individual slabs bedded in sand rather than set on a concrete base.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Oradell gets 47.11 inches a year with August heaviest at 4.53, and the drying season runs from a 32.8-degree January to a 78-degree July; rain recorded at NEW MILFORD 0.9 miles away and temperatures at TETERBORO AP 7.5 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.53 inches of a 47.11-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the bedding is wetted in summer and frozen in winter; both move the sand under the stone, and it never goes back where it was.
How water losses tend to end in Oradell
- Paving that settles individually, so the fall across it becomes irregular rather than simply flatter
- Joints open between slabs, so water goes through the surface as well as across it
- Fall reversed toward the building at the point where the paving meets the wall
