What drying runs into in New York

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in New York were built and the answer is 1952 at the median, 83.9 percent of them finished by 1990. Brick and masonry apartment buildings with plaster ceilings, wood or concrete floors and shared risers are the ordinary stock, so a loss is usually another unit's leak arriving through the ceiling, and the drying has to reach the cavity between two households before either apartment is closed up.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.85 of the 47.13 inches New York sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at NY AVE V BROOKLYN, 5.2 miles away. Summer humidity keeps a sealed dehumidified run necessary from June through September, while the two months of freezing lows put split risers and radiator lines on the calendar and the dry heated air that follows helps the drying along.
How water losses tend to end in New York
- Ceiling cavities under an upstairs leak holding water in the plaster and the joists, so the ceiling is opened and dried before the stain is painted over
- Shared risers and radiator lines splitting in a winter freeze, so a single leak wets several floors and each cavity is read separately
- Plaster walls in pre-war buildings drying slowly, so the run continues for weeks after the apartment looks dry
