What drying runs into in Clairton
Serving Clairton and the surrounding area, including Wilson, Blair.
Local housing stock
The typical Clairton house dates to 1943, with close to nine in ten of the stock (94.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1940s work. With a median build year of 1943, narrow frame and brick houses on stone or block foundations are the stock, often stepped into the slope, so one basement wall sits deep below grade while another is nearly at daylight and the two dry at very different rates.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5 of the 42.36 inches Clairton sees in a normal year, and July averages 73 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at MCKEESPORT, 3.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5 inches and five months sit below freezing with January lows near 21 degrees, so a summer storm loads the uphill wall while the winter losses come from split lines in unheated back rooms.
How water losses tend to end in Clairton
- Hillside basements with one deep wall and one at grade, so half the room dries days ahead of the other
- Stone foundation joints releasing moisture long after the framing reads dry
- Back rooms left unheated through the freeze, where a split line runs unnoticed
