What drying runs into in Passaic
Serving Passaic and the surrounding area, including Garfield Park.
Local housing stock
92.5 percent of Passaic's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1938, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With 92.5 percent of the stock built before 1990 and a median year of 1938, the ordinary building is a masonry walk-up with plaster over lath and wood joists, so a failure on an upper floor wets the ceilings and joist bays of every home beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Passaic have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 25.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 4.45 inches of an annual 46.29; both figures recorded at TETERBORO AP, 3.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.45 inches and three months sit below freezing with January lows near 26 degrees, so summer supplies the rain while the heating season leaves unheated stairwells and exterior bays at risk.
How water losses tend to end in Passaic
- Upper-floor failures wetting the ceilings of several homes below before anyone reports it
- Plaster ceilings holding water at the lath and sagging days after the leak is stopped
- Waste and supply risers running in closed chases that must be opened to be read
