What drying runs into in Sandusky
Serving Sandusky and the surrounding area, including Kilbourne Plat, Garden District, South of Kilbourne, The Cove District, Camptown, McKelvey Plat, South Side, West End.
Local housing stock
The typical Sandusky house dates to 1955, with close to nine in ten of the stock (88.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1950s work. Around a median of 1955 with nearly nine in ten houses older, most of the stock has been extended at least once, and the additions were built onto shallower footings than the original; the two parts move independently, so the joint between them opens over the years and becomes the lowest point in the floor structure.
Climate & seasonal risk
April brings 3.76 of the 34.03 inches Sandusky sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SANDUSKY, 0.4 miles away. April is the wettest month at under four inches of a thirty-four inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands right at the thaw; the ground is moving then, the joint is at its widest, and an assembly opened in that stretch is drying in a building that has not yet warmed.
How water losses tend to end in Sandusky
- Additions on shallower footings than the original house, so the two move apart and the joint between them opens into a path
- Floor framing that changes direction at that joint, so water crossing it runs along a new set of joists and into a different room
- Finishes run continuously over the joint, so nothing on the surface shows where the structure actually changes
