Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Springfield were built and the answer is 1953 at the median, 89.3 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1953 with nearly nine in ten houses older, a great many were built or extended so that only part of the footprint has a basement and the rest sits over a shallow crawl, which means one loss on the ground floor drains into two different substructures with nothing in common.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Springfield have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 18.5 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 4.69 inches of an annual 42.56; rain recorded at SPRINGFIELD 2 WSW 2.9 miles away and temperatures at SPRINGFIELD WTP 3.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-three inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is mild and the cold season is long; the crawl half stays cold and damp well into the spring while the basement half is warmer, so the two sides never dry at the same rate.
How water losses tend to end in Springfield
- One floor sitting over two different substructures, so a single loss has to be dried as two separate jobs
- A crawl section that runs colder and damper than the basement, so the same water behaves differently a few feet apart
- A junction where the floor framing changes, so water crossing it moves into a different structure without any sign above
