What drying runs into in Franklin
Serving Franklin and the surrounding area, including Franklin Historic District.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Franklin were built and the answer is 1938 at the median, 90.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1938 with nine in ten houses older, the attics were built to be used: boarded floors, a proper stair in many of them, and storage across the whole area, which means the space above the ceiling is a room rather than a void full of insulation.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.32 of the 46.33 inches Franklin sees in a normal year, and July averages 71.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at FRANKLIN, 1.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-six inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the most humid part of the year; water on a boarded attic floor in July has two layers of timber to go through and warm damp air above it.
How water losses tend to end in Franklin
- A boarded floor above the ceiling, so water spreads across it and runs to the edges rather than soaking into insulation
- Two layers of timber with a gap between, so the water ends up between the attic floor and the ceiling below
- Stored contents across the whole area, so clearing the space comes before any assessment of the structure
