What drying runs into in Delaware
Serving Delaware and the surrounding area, including Delaware Meadows, Sunnyview Farms, Lexington Glen, Hayes Colony, Shelbourne Forest, Troy Farms, Sandusky Street Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical Delaware house dates to 1995, with a little under half of the stock (42.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1990s work. With the median build year at 1995 the common house is frame over a poured full basement, finished or half finished, and salt-bearing water is not clean water: the carpet and pad go, the base of the board is cut whatever the meter says, and the concrete is rinsed before anything is dried.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 4.65 of the 41.62 inches Delaware sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LEWIS CENTER 1.4 E 7.9 miles away and temperatures at MARYSVILLE 12 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December to March, and the furnace running through it keeps the indoor air dry enough to move a drying run along; May is the wettest month, when the basement floor is still cold and the outside air is already humid, so ventilation works against the job.
How water losses tend to end in Delaware
- Softener brine overflowing slowly into a finished basement, so salt-bearing water reaches material that then has to be removed rather than dried
- Basement floors that stay cold into June, so the concrete sits below the dew point and condenses what the equipment is trying to remove
- Half-finished lower levels with studs and board against poured walls, so the wall base is opened to reach the concrete behind it
