What drying runs into in Lockport
Serving Lockport and the surrounding area, including Lowertown, High and Locust Streets.
Local housing stock
Only 8.3 percent of Lockport's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1941 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1941 with over nine in ten predating 1990, these older houses collect their roof water into a leader head at the top of each downspout, an open metal box fitted at the eave that the gutter discharges into.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 71.8 degrees against 25.4; the 37.86 inches a year peak in July at 3.76, both figures recorded at LOCKPORT 4E, 4.5 miles away. July is the wettest month at 3.76 inches of a 37.86-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the head takes summer storms and then fills with ice for months; both leave it holding water at the top of the wall.
How water losses tend to end in Lockport
- An open collector at the top of the wall, which fills with debris and then with water
- Overflow discharging against the wall rather than through the downspout
- Ice standing in an open box through the winter, hard against the eave
