What drying runs into in Grove City
Serving Grove City and the surrounding area, including Riverbend.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Grove City were built and the answer is 1995 at the median, 42.4 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 1995 and under half the stock older, the walls were sheathed in rigid foam board under the siding rather than in wood panel, and that surface is flat, smooth and impermeable; water that gets behind the vinyl meets it and runs, arriving at the bottom of the wall rather than spreading.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Grove City have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 19.2 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.65 inches of an annual 41.44; rain recorded at COLUMBUS-PARSONS AVE 6.4 miles away and temperatures at COLUMBUS-VALLEY CROSSING 9.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-one inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season supplies dry air; a bottom plate wet in June is in the worst month for it, at the base of a wall that has been feeding it all season.
How water losses tend to end in Grove City
- A smooth impermeable sheathing, so water behind the siding runs down it rather than being absorbed or spread
- Everything arriving at the bottom plate, so the damage concentrates at the base of the wall rather than at the entry point
- Foam that gives no indication of what has run down it, so the sheathing looks perfect with a rotten plate below
