What drying runs into in Defiance
Serving Defiance and the surrounding area, including Holgate Avenue Historic District.
Local housing stock
Only 21.1 percent of Defiance's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1965 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. The median house dates to 1965 and nearly four in five predate 1990, frame and brick over full basements, so a river-driven loss reaches the basement from outside and the block wall holds it while the finished side hides it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73.9 degrees against 25.1; the 37.7 inches a year peak in May at 4.26, both figures recorded at DEFIANCE, 1 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.26 inches out of 37.7 for the year, with four months below freezing and January lows near 18 degrees, so the spring rise arrives on ground that is still saturated from the thaw.
How water losses tend to end in Defiance
- Flat ground near the rivers draining slowly, so foundations stay loaded after a rise
- Block walls taking water through the cores from outside
- Basement contents left on the floor wicking water back into finished surfaces
