What drying runs into in Doylestown
Serving Doylestown and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 11.8 percent of Doylestown's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1963 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1963 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, the older core is stone walls a foot and a half thick with plaster worked onto them, and those walls carry water as a permanent condition, so what decides whether a room is finished is the wood and the finishes rather than the masonry.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.48 of the 47.67 inches Doylestown sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at DOYLESTOWN AP, 1.1 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December into March, and the July rain peak lands in the warmest and most humid stretch of the year, when a stone wall is also at its least willing to release; the heating season is when these buildings actually dry.
How water losses tend to end in Doylestown
- Stone walls of great thickness that never come down to a framed wall's readings, so the finish point has to be defined differently
- Plaster worked directly onto the stone, so there is no cavity and every bit of moisture has to leave through the room
- Joist ends bearing into stone pockets, so the wood that matters most is the wood hardest to reach and read
