What drying runs into in Chester
Serving Chester and the surrounding area, including Toby Farms.
Local housing stock
The typical Chester house dates to 1949, with close to nine in ten of the stock (88.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1940s work. Around a median of 1949 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, a good part of this stock is close-built rows and older multi-family buildings where interior rooms are lit through a light shaft rather than by an outside window.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 79.5 degrees against 34.8; the 41.65 inches a year peak in July at 4.81, both figures recorded at MARCUS HOOK, 3.3 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.81 inches of a 41.65-inch year and two months average lows below freezing, so summer storms drop a great deal of water into a shaft with one small drain at the bottom of it.
How water losses tend to end in Chester
- A vertical opening collecting rain and delivering it to one point at the bottom
- Walls inside the shaft that were never detailed as outside walls
- A drain at the base that nobody can reach easily and nobody maintains
