What drying runs into in Kent
Serving Kent and the surrounding area, including South End, Downtown, West River, Gateway, Mill District, Front Campus, The Quad, Science Corridor.
Local housing stock
The typical Kent house dates to 1972, with about three quarters of the stock (73.3 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1972 with nearly three quarters of the stock older, a recurring plan puts the garage under the house at basement level with the drive running down to it, which places a large door at the lowest point of the whole structure.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.79 of the 42.25 inches Kent sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at KENT 1.5 W 1.5 miles away and temperatures at RAVENNA 2 S 4.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-two inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer and the drive ices through the winter; the door at the bottom of it takes both.
How water losses tend to end in Kent
- A drive falling to a door at basement level, so the whole paved area drains to the lowest opening in the building
- A garage sharing a wall and a floor level with finished basement rooms, so water inside reaches living space
- A door rather than a wall at that level, so the weakest point is at the bottom of the fall
