What drying runs into in Hornell
Serving Hornell and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 9.1 percent of Hornell's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1938 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Nine in ten buildings predate 1990 around a median of 1938, frame houses whose stud bays were filled at some point with loose material blown in behind the plaster, so a wall loss means opening the bay and emptying it rather than moving air through it.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Hornell gets 38.39 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.11, and the drying season runs from a 21.2-degree January to a 67.7-degree July; both figures recorded at HORNELL ALMOND DAM, 2.4 miles away. Six months with normal lows below freezing give one of the longest split seasons anywhere, and with January lows near twelve degrees a building that loses heat goes in several places at once; the June rain peak is mild by comparison and is not what fills the calendar here.
How water losses tend to end in Hornell
- Loose fill packed into stud bays, so a wet cavity cannot be dried by air movement and the material is removed through openings instead
- Six freezing months in a stock of older houses, so anything left cold splits in more than one place in a single night
- Plaster over lath above a filled cavity, so the wall has to be opened to reach the fill even where the plaster itself is sound
