What drying runs into in Newport
Serving Newport and the surrounding area, including Brenton Village, Easton's Point, Paradise Mobile Home Park.
Local housing stock
The typical Newport house dates to 1938, with close to nine in ten of the stock (91 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1930s work. Around a median of 1938 with nine in ten predating 1990, this city keeps a great many very old houses whose floors are wide single boards of old-growth timber, laid over joists with no subfloor beneath them.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a January job at another, 71.1 degrees against 31.3; the 47.45 inches a year peak in April at 4.73, both figures recorded at NEWPORT ROSE, 2.3 miles away. April is the wettest month at 4.73 inches of a 47.45-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so these floors swell through a damp spring and shrink through a heated winter; a foot-wide board moves several times as much across its width as a modern strip does.
How water losses tend to end in Newport
- Boards that cup and gap dramatically rather than slightly, so damage is obvious and severe
- No subfloor beneath, so water passing between boards goes straight into the joists
- Material that cannot be replaced like for like, which changes what is worth saving
