What drying runs into in Plattsburgh
Serving Plattsburgh and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 8,046 of Plattsburgh's 9,960 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1962; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median house dates to 1962 and four in five predate 1990, frame with clapboard over stone or block foundations, so a winter split wets the wall cavity and the sill, and the older foundation gives up its moisture slowly once the room above is dry.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Plattsburgh gets 36 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.12, and the drying season runs from a 19.1-degree January to a 69.9-degree July; rain recorded at PLATTSBURGH 1 S 0.1 miles away and temperatures at PLATTSBURGH INTL AP 2.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.12 inches and the year totals just 36, but five months sit below freezing with January lows near 10 degrees, so the long freeze rather than the rainfall is what puts lines at risk.
How water losses tend to end in Plattsburgh
- Lines splitting at the sill in unheated corners during a long freeze, so the wall is opened at the base
- Stone foundations holding water in the joints well after the framing above reads dry
- Seasonal camps left unheated where a split runs for weeks before anyone opens the building
