What drying runs into in Dunkirk
Serving Dunkirk and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 3.7 percent of Dunkirk's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1941 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1941 with almost the whole stock predating 1990, a great many of these older frame houses carry aluminum awnings fixed over the windows and the entry, screwed back into the wall above each opening.
Climate & seasonal risk
October brings 4.78 of the 46.81 inches Dunkirk sees in a normal year, and July averages 70.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at DUNKIRK, 0.6 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.78 inches of a 46.81-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so an awning takes autumn rain and then holds snow and ice above the window through the winter, against fixings that were never meant to carry it.
How water losses tend to end in Dunkirk
- Fixings driven through the wall above every opening, so there are holes in the siding at the worst height
- Snow and ice held over a window rather than shed past it, so load and meltwater sit at the head
- Water entering above the window and appearing below it, so the sign is nowhere near the way in
