What drying runs into in Lackawanna
Serving Lackawanna and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Lackawanna house dates to 1954, with close to nine in ten of the stock (90.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1954 with nine in ten houses older, the front steps were built as a masonry box with a space beneath them opening into the basement, used for storage and never heated; it is part of the building envelope on the plan and outside it in every practical sense.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 41.48 inches, 4.44 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 71.7 degrees in July; rain recorded at WEST SENECA 1.9 W 2.5 miles away and temperatures at BUFFALO 10.2 miles away. October is the wettest month at under four and a half inches of a forty-one inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands as the heating season begins; a masonry box under the front steps takes that water and stays cold and damp until spring.
How water losses tend to end in Lackawanna
- An unheated masonry space opening into the basement, so cold damp air has a route into the heated part of the building
- Masonry surrounded by ground on three sides, so it takes water from the soil as well as from above
- A space used for storage, so what is damaged is contents rather than structure and nobody reports it
