What drying runs into in Ithaca
Serving Ithaca and the surrounding area, including Northside Triangle, West End, Downtown, Fall Creek, Southside, University Hill, Titus Flats, West Hill.
Local housing stock
The typical Ithaca house dates to 1956, with about three quarters of the stock (75 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1956 with three quarters predating 1990, the houses sit over basements cut into shale that lies close to the surface, and that rock moves water along horizontal bedding rather than through it, so a wall takes water at a particular height and stays dry above and below it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 68.9 degrees against 22.8; the 38.29 inches a year peak in June at 3.98, both figures recorded at ITHACA CORNELL UNIV, 2.8 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and the June rain peak lands when the ground above the rock is at its most charged; a seam that runs in spring may be completely dry by September, which makes timing worth knowing.
How water losses tend to end in Ithaca
- Water arriving along a horizontal seam in the rock, so the wet line on a wall is a level rather than a patch
- Finishes fastened over that line, so the wall is opened at a specific height and the framing there is what has been taking it
- Seasonal seams that run in spring and stop in late summer, so a condition can disappear before anyone confirms it
