Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Perth Amboy were built and the answer is 1959 at the median, 76.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median build year of 1959, with a great deal older than that, the stock is two and three family frame houses subdivided over the years, so a kitchen or bath added on an upper floor sits over rooms that were never below wet rooms and the failure comes through a ceiling nobody expected.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Perth Amboy have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 22.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 5.19 inches of an annual 49.49; rain recorded at WOODBRIDGE TWP 1.1 ESE 2.4 miles away and temperatures at NEW BRUNSWICK 3 SE 8.6 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December into March, and the July rain peak lands when the buildings are closed up and cooled, so the two busy stretches of the year need opposite drying plans and the same house behaves differently in each.
How water losses tend to end in Perth Amboy
- Bathrooms and kitchens added on upper floors during conversion, so supply and waste run in walls with no chase and no access
- Two and three family houses where one failure involves separate households, so the drying scope crosses a locked door before it crosses a wall
- Floors between flats built as single-family floors, with no barrier at all, so water passes straight through to the unit below
