What drying runs into in Connellsville
Serving Connellsville and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
95.2 percent of Connellsville's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1942, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. The median build year is 1942 and the stock is narrow frame and brick houses, a large share of them wrapped at some point in aluminum or vinyl over the original siding, so a wall that takes water from inside has one open face instead of two and everything has to leave through the room.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73 degrees against 29.5; the 46.86 inches a year peak in June at 4.93, both figures recorded at CONNELLSVILLE 2 SSW, 1.4 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing put the split season from December into March, and the heated indoor air through it is what carries the moisture out of a wall that can no longer breathe outward; June is the wettest month, when neither the heat nor the cooling is running to help.
How water losses tend to end in Connellsville
- Original siding covered over with a second skin, so a wet wall cavity has only the inside face to dry through and takes twice as long
- Houses on narrow lots stepped up the valley side, so the uphill wall is partly buried and stays cold and damp well after the rest is finished
- Long stretches with the heat turned down in vacant houses, so a winter failure runs cold and slow and is found by a neighbor rather than an owner
