What drying runs into in Norwich
Serving Norwich and the surrounding area, including Courthouse District, North Broad Street.
Local housing stock
Only 3.8 percent of Norwich's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1946 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1946 with more than 96 percent of the stock older, the framing came from the hemlock cut in these hills, which was cheap and plentiful and behaves quite differently from the pine used elsewhere.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 68.8 degrees against 21.7; the 45.27 inches a year peak in June at 4.95, both figures recorded at NORWICH, 1.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.95 inches of a 45-inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so the framing is wetted in summer and frozen for half the year; hemlock moves through that cycle harder than softer woods do.
How water losses tend to end in Norwich
- Timber that splits along the grain, so a wet member fails suddenly rather than sagging
- Wood that holds fasteners poorly once wet, so connections loosen before the member does
- Local material with no modern equivalent, so a repair piece has to be matched carefully
