What drying runs into in Erie
Serving Erie and the surrounding area, including Central City, South Erie Hillside, Midtown, Marvintown, Saint Mary, Downtown Erie, Glenwood Heights, Little Italy.
Local housing stock
Roughly 40,644 of Erie's 43,681 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1949; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1949 with nineteen houses in twenty older, the windows were built with counterweights running in a pocket beside each frame, and that pocket is an open void inside the wall; where the sashes have been replaced the weights are gone but the cavity beside the frame is still there.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Erie gets 42.98 inches a year with October heaviest at 4.38, and the drying season runs from a 28.2-degree January to a 72.7-degree July; both figures recorded at ERIE INTL AP, 6.1 miles away. October is the wettest month at under four and a half inches of a forty-three inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives just as the heating season starts; a pocket that took water in October is inside a wall that is about to be closed up for the winter and will not dry on its own.
How water losses tend to end in Erie
- An open pocket inside the wall beside every original window, so water entering near a frame has a void to run down
- A void that is invisible from the room and from outside, so the wet area is missed unless the frame is opened
- Water arriving at the bottom of the pocket at the plate, so the damage shows two or three feet below where it entered
