What drying runs into in Blue Bell
Serving Blue Bell and the surrounding area, including Blue Bell Country Club.
Local housing stock
The typical Blue Bell house dates to 1983, with about three quarters of the stock (77.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1983 with nearly four in five houses older, the newer development grew around a scatter of eighteenth and nineteenth century fieldstone houses, whose walls are rubble stone laid in lime with no cavity at all.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.7 of the 48.61 inches Blue Bell sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at FORT WASHINGTON 0.8 NW 3.5 miles away and temperatures at NORRISTOWN 4.4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.7 inches of a 49-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wall is soaked in summer and frozen through the winter; solid rubble masonry takes a very long time to give either back.
How water losses tend to end in Blue Bell
- A solid wall with no cavity, so there is nothing to drain and nothing to ventilate
- Lime mortar that has been repointed hard, so the wall cannot dry the way it was built to
- Enormous thermal and moisture mass, so drying is measured in months not days
