What drying runs into in Port Jervis
Serving Port Jervis and the surrounding area, including Duttonville, Painted Apron Village.
Local housing stock
89.1 percent of Port Jervis's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1938, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. The median build year is 1938 and the stock is narrow frame houses on stone or rubble foundations with plaster on lath above, so the plaster and the old trim usually stay while the earth floor and the stone below never dry to a number, and the plan is built around the rooms above them instead.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Port Jervis gets 47.18 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.72, and the drying season runs from a 24.9-degree January to a 71.8-degree July; both figures recorded at PORT JERVIS, 0.8 miles away. Five months with normal lows below freezing run the split season from November into March, and a building that loses its heat in that stretch goes in more than one place at once; the June rain peak arrives while the cellar is still giving back what the thaw put into it.
How water losses tend to end in Port Jervis
- Stone cellars with earth floors, so the ground under the building takes the water up and returns it for weeks afterward
- Older houses left cold when they are empty through five freezing months, so one failure splits several lines rather than one
- Plaster on lath over open stud bays, so water introduced at one floor runs down to the sill before it appears anywhere at all
