What drying runs into in Shrewsbury
Serving Shrewsbury and the surrounding area, including Presidential Heights.
Local housing stock
Roughly 1,029 of Shrewsbury's 1,772 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1986; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1986 with a little under six in ten houses older, the heating and cooling equipment stands in the basement below the level of any drain, so the water it produces has to be lifted; a small pump does that continuously through the cooling season and through every heating hour of a condensing furnace.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Shrewsbury have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 23.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 5.11 inches of an annual 47.88; both figures recorded at MILLERS 4 NE, 7.5 miles away. September is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year with four months averaging a low below freezing, so the cooling season runs right through the wettest part of the year; the equipment is producing the most condensate exactly when a failure has the least chance of being noticed.
How water losses tend to end in Shrewsbury
- Condensate lifted by a pump rather than drained by gravity, so a failure means the water goes onto the floor instead of away
- A small pump running unattended for months, so it fails without anything to indicate it has
- A discharge that continues as long as the equipment runs, so the loss repeats every cycle rather than happening once
