What drying runs into in Pawtucket
Serving Pawtucket and the surrounding area, including Darlington, Woodlawn, Fairlawn, Happy Hollow, Valley Falls, Sayles Bleachery, Saylesville Highlands.
Local housing stock
88.7 percent of Pawtucket's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1947, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1947 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, the older multi-family buildings here were built with a small hoist shaft serving every floor, and most have long since been boarded over at each level rather than removed.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Pawtucket gets 50.63 inches a year with March heaviest at 5.2, and the drying season runs from a 28.3-degree January to a 73.6-degree July; rain recorded at REHOBOTH 2.1 N 5.2 miles away and temperatures at WOONSOCKET 9.7 miles away. March is the wettest month at 5.2 inches of a 50.63-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the losses here are mostly internal and mostly in the cold months; a closed shaft running the height of the building is the route they take.
How water losses tend to end in Pawtucket
- A vertical shaft connecting every floor, sealed at each one and forgotten
- Water entering it on an upper floor and arriving in the cellar
- A void nobody knows is there until a wall is opened and it is found
