What drying runs into in New Rochelle
Serving New Rochelle and the surrounding area, including Rochelle Heights, Pine Brook, Sun Haven, Homestead Park, Huguenot Park, Beechmont Woods, Forest Knolls, Chester Heights.
Local housing stock
The typical New Rochelle house dates to 1955, with over four fifths of the stock (82.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1955 with more than eight in ten houses older, the heating oil was stored in a steel tank buried in the garden, and when the houses were converted to gas the tanks were generally left in the ground where they were.
Climate & seasonal risk
December brings 4.7 of the 51.24 inches New Rochelle sees in a normal year, and July averages 75 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at DOBBS FERRY-ARDSLEY, 6.5 miles away. December is the wettest month at 4.7 inches of a 51-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wettest ground of the year is also the coldest; a steel tank that has sat in that for fifty years is not intact.
How water losses tend to end in New Rochelle
- A corroded steel tank in the ground, so there is a void under the yard nobody accounts for
- A tank that fills with ground water once it has rusted through, so it holds rather than drains
- Contamination as well as water, so what comes into a basement may not be clean
