What drying runs into in Upper Arlington
Serving Upper Arlington and the surrounding area, including Eastcleft, Guilford Place, Brandon Heights, North Arlington, Brentwood Park, Windsor Place, Monticello, Cranbrook.
Local housing stock
The typical Upper Arlington house dates to 1959, with close to nine in ten of the stock (90.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1950s work. Around a median of 1959 with nine in ten houses older, the houses were built with fitted bookcases, window seats and cupboards run against the exterior walls as part of the original work, which means a good part of the wall surface in the principal rooms is permanent.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74.8 degrees against 28.7; the 44.66 inches a year peak in May at 4.78, both figures recorded at COLUMBUS WCMH, 2.3 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-five inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is mild and the cold season supplies dry indoor air; a wall behind fixed joinery gets neither, because nothing reaches it.
How water losses tend to end in Upper Arlington
- Fitted joinery against exterior walls, so the wall behind it cannot be opened without taking the millwork apart
- Original cabinetry that cannot be replaced to match, so the decision to open is weighed against losing it
- A closed cavity behind the joinery, so there is no air movement and nothing to read from the room
