What drying runs into in Peekskill
Serving Peekskill and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
80.6 percent of Peekskill's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1963, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1963 with over eight in ten predating 1990, much of this housing is built into hillsides above the river, which puts the garage and frequently a lower room at the bottom of a drive that falls away from the road.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.73 of the 49.27 inches Peekskill sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at PEEKSKILL 0.4 N 0.5 miles away and temperatures at SHRUB OAK 5.5 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.73 inches of a 49.27-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so summer storms send water down a paved slope and winter ice builds at the bottom of it; both end at the same door.
How water losses tend to end in Peekskill
- A paved slope delivering the street's runoff as well as its own to one point
- A garage floor below the level of everything around it, with nowhere for water to go
- Ice forming at the lowest point through the winter, where the drain would be if there is one
