What drying runs into in Coatesville
Serving Coatesville and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Coatesville were built and the answer is 1952 at the median, 70.5 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1952 and seven in ten predate 1990, attached and semi-detached brick with wood joists over cellars, so a valley-floor loss reaches joist ends bearing in party walls as well as the cellar floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 5.17 of the 52.12 inches Coatesville sees in a normal year, and July averages 75 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at COATESVILLE 2 W, 2.2 miles away. September is the wettest month at 5.17 inches out of 52.12 for the year, with four months below freezing and January lows near 22 degrees, so the heaviest rain comes at the end of the warm season with the slopes already wet.
How water losses tend to end in Coatesville
- Narrow valley sides shedding storm water down into the lowest streets
- Joist ends bearing into shared masonry taking water out of reach of the room
- September storms arriving as the warm season ends, with no dry weeks to follow
