What drying runs into in Westerville
Serving Westerville and the surrounding area, including Uptown.
Local housing stock
Only 36 percent of Westerville's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1982 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1982 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, the fireplaces were fitted with an outside air supply, a duct running from a grille on the outside wall through to a small opening in the floor of the firebox.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.02 of the 42.23 inches Westerville sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at WESTERVILLE, 1.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.02 inches of a 42-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer with the fireplace unused and its duct standing open; nothing is drawing through it at the time of year it matters.
How water losses tend to end in Westerville
- A duct running from outside into the middle of the house, so there is a path through the wall
- An opening used in winter and idle in summer, so it is open when the rain is heaviest
- A route arriving at the hearth, so water appears at the fireplace and reads as a chimney fault
