What drying runs into in Poughkeepsie
Serving Poughkeepsie and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Poughkeepsie were built and the answer is 1952 at the median, 88.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1952 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, the older stock carries steam radiators on every floor, and a valve or a fitting that lets go delivers water at temperature into plank flooring, where it penetrates further and faster than a cold supply leak of the same volume.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.18 inches, 4.64 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 73.1 degrees in July; both figures recorded at POUGHKEEPSIE, 2.2 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing are also the months the steam is up, so the indoor air is at its driest exactly when the heating system is most likely to be the source; the September rain peak lands with neither heat nor cooling running, and a loss then has no help at all.
How water losses tend to end in Poughkeepsie
- Radiator valves and fittings letting go while the system is hot, so the water goes into the floor at temperature and penetrates deeper
- Radiators standing directly on plank floors above finished ceilings, so the loss passes through the boards before anyone is in the room
- The heating season being both the risk season and the best drying season, so the same weeks produce the losses and the fastest recoveries
