What drying runs into in Paterson
Serving Paterson and the surrounding area, including Riverside.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Paterson were built and the answer is 1954 at the median, 83.5 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1954 and 83.5 percent predate 1990, but the mill conversions are far older, heavy timber posts and beams under thick plank floors, so a loss spreads across an open floor plate rather than being stopped by partitions.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 4.69 of the 49.41 inches Paterson sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at HAWTHORNE 1.0 SSE 2.1 miles away and temperatures at LITTLE FALLS 3.9 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.69 inches out of 49.41 for the year, with four months below freezing and January lows near 22 degrees, so late-summer rain supplies most losses and the heating season supplies the dry air to recover in.
How water losses tend to end in Paterson
- Open mill floor plates with few partitions, so water crosses a large area before anything stops it
- Heavy timber beams holding water in the grain where surface readings miss it
- Thick plank floors drying slowly from both faces, so the assembly outlasts the finishes
