What drying runs into in Jeannette
Serving Jeannette and the surrounding area, including Grapeville, High Park, Lincoln Heights.
Local housing stock
The typical Jeannette house dates to 1952, with close to nine in ten of the stock (96.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1950s work. Around a median of 1952 with 96 percent of the stock older, the houses were built to be heated by coal delivered through a hatch in the foundation wall, and when the heating changed those openings were filled in with whatever was to hand.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Jeannette gets 44.18 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.86, and the drying season runs from a 29.6-degree January to a 74.9-degree July; rain recorded at IRWIN 0.2 W 4.7 miles away and temperatures at MURRYSVILLE 2 SW 8.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.86 inches of a 44-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so a heavy summer rain lands against a wall that then freezes and thaws through the winter; a patch of old mortar in a wall takes both badly.
How water losses tend to end in Jeannette
- A filled opening in the foundation, so there is a patch of different material low in the wall
- Fill that never bonded to the original, so the joint around it is open on all four sides
- An opening low down at the back, so it is behind shrubs and below the eye of anyone looking
