What drying runs into in Troy
Serving Troy and the surrounding area, including The Hill, Frear Park, Downtown, Sycaway, North Central, Little Italy, South Central, Eastside.
Local housing stock
86.8 percent of Troy'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. Around a median of 1938 with nearly nine in ten buildings older, the rowhouses carry a heavy cornice projecting from the top of the front wall over the sidewalk, framed in timber and clad in sheet metal, with a flat top that was never meant to hold water.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 42.09 inches, 4.64 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 74.9 degrees in July; both figures recorded at TROY L&D, 1.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-two inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer and the freeze works at the metal all winter; a cornice takes both at the highest and least reachable point of the building.
How water losses tend to end in Troy
- A projecting timber structure clad in metal, so there is framing inside a skin at the top of the wall
- A flat upper surface that collects, so water sits on it rather than running off
- Water entering at the top of the wall, so it runs down inside and appears floors below
