What drying runs into in Little Falls
Serving Little Falls and the surrounding area, including Little Falls Historic District, South Ann Street-Mill Street.
Local housing stock
Only 1.4 percent of Little Falls'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. Around a median of 1938 with essentially the whole stock older, the chimneys were built for solid fuel and have since been asked to serve oil and then gas, each smaller than the last; the flue is now far larger than what it is venting, so the gases move slowly and lose their heat on the way up.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 52.01 inches, 5 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 69.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at DOLGEVILLE 1.9 NW 6.2 miles away and temperatures at LITTLE FALLS CITY RSCH 1.2 miles away. October is the wettest month at five inches of a fifty-two inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so the heating season is long and the chimney is working through most of it; a flue that condenses does so every day it runs rather than during bad weather.
How water losses tend to end in Little Falls
- A flue far larger than the appliance it serves, so the gases cool and give up their moisture inside the chimney
- Condensation forming within masonry through the whole heating season, so the chimney is wet from the inside
- Damage at the chimney rather than at the roof, so the source looks like a leak and is not one
