Local housing stock
Only 27.3 percent of Princeton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1965 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1965 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, a great many of the houses have basements finished and shelved for books, papers and stored possessions, and paper at floor level is the most absorbent material in any building: it takes the water first and keeps releasing it into the room afterwards.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.88 of the 49.36 inches Princeton sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at PRINCETON 2.3 E 2.1 miles away and temperatures at HIGHTSTOWN 2 W 8.3 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December into March, and the July rain peak arrives when the basement is at its most humid; in either season a room full of paper holds far more water than the structure around it does.
How water losses tend to end in Princeton
- Books and papers shelved at low level, so the most absorbent material in the building is also the lowest
- Contents holding water and releasing it back into the room, so equipment works against a supply that does not stop with the leak
- Shelving fixed to below-grade walls, so the finishes cannot be opened until a great deal of material has been moved
