What drying runs into in Auburn
Serving Auburn and the surrounding area, including South Street, Grover Street.
Local housing stock
The typical Auburn house dates to 1947, with close to nine in ten of the stock (93.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1940s work. Around a median of 1947 with nine in ten houses older, the porches are carried on a low masonry wall rather than on open piers, and that wall is built hollow with a cavity running its length between two skins of brick or block.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Auburn have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 15.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in October at 4.47 inches of an annual 44.26; both figures recorded at AUBURN, 1.1 miles away. October is the wettest month at under four and a half inches of a forty-four inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives just before the freeze; a cavity that fills in October is holding water when the frost arrives to work on it.
How water losses tend to end in Auburn
- A hollow wall under the porch, so there is a cavity at the base of the building that collects
- No drainage from that cavity, so what enters at the top has no way out at the bottom
- Freeze working on a wall full of water, so the masonry itself deteriorates rather than simply leaking
