What drying runs into in Elmira
Serving Elmira and the surrounding area, including Near Westside, Maple Avenue, Clinton-Columbia.
Local housing stock
Roughly 12,080 of Elmira's 12,676 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1938; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1938 with almost the whole stock predating 1990, these older houses carry full-width front porches with floors of narrow tongued boards laid close, a surface built to be painted and to be kept painted.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 71 degrees against 24.8; the 37.43 inches a year peak in June at 4.1, rain recorded at ELMIRA 1.2 WNW 1.2 miles away and temperatures at ELMIRA 1.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.1 inches of a 37.43-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so a porch floor takes summer rain and then freezes wet through the winter; water standing in a joint expands there every night for months.
How water losses tend to end in Elmira
- A floor with hundreds of joints, each one a place water can stand and stay
- Boards that hold water against the framing below them rather than letting it fall through
- Decay beginning at the joints and under the paint, so the surface looks sound while it goes
