What drying runs into in Jamestown
Serving Jamestown and the surrounding area, including Downtown Jamestown, Brooklyn Square, Forest Heights, Lakeview Avenue Historical Homes, Ridgley Terrace D, Crestline.
Local housing stock
The typical Jamestown house dates to 1938, with close to nine in ten of the stock (96.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1930s work. Around a median of 1938 with nineteen houses in twenty standing before 1990, a great deal of the stock was framed before floor-by-floor platforms became standard, so the studs run full height and the bays between them are continuous; water entering one high in the building does not stay on that floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.93 inches, 4.55 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 68.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at JAMESTOWN 4 ENE, 4 miles away. July is the wettest month at four and a half inches of a forty-six inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the split season is long and the wet season is warm; a bay that took water in January is being read in a house that is heated and dry, which helps, but the water has had the whole height of the wall to travel.
How water losses tend to end in Jamestown
- Stud bays running unbroken from cellar to attic, so water entering at roof level arrives at the bottom plate two floors down
- Wet showing at the cellar while the failure is in the attic, so the obvious room is the wrong place to start
- Old fill and blown material packed into those bays, so the water is held against framing that cannot be seen from either end
