What drying runs into in Paramus
Serving Paramus and the surrounding area, including Dunkerhook, Arcola.
Local housing stock
The typical Paramus house dates to 1963, with about three quarters of the stock (77.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1960s work. Around a median of 1963 with over three quarters predating 1990, most of these houses have had their original windows replaced with insert units, which slide into the existing frame and are sealed to it rather than replacing it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 49.25 inches, 4.79 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 78 degrees in July; rain recorded at GLEN ROCK 0.7 SSE 2.5 miles away and temperatures at TETERBORO AP 6.7 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.79 inches of a 49.25-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the openings take summer storms and a long freeze; the old frame inside the wall goes through all of it out of sight.
How water losses tend to end in Paramus
- Original timber frames and sills left in place, hidden behind new units
- Any decay that existed at the time of replacement still there and continuing
- A new seal made to an old frame, so the detail is only as good as what it was fixed to
