What drying runs into in Rutland
Serving Rutland and the surrounding area, including Rutland Courthouse Historic District, Rutland Downtown Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical Rutland house dates to 1938, with close to nine in ten of the stock (90.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1930s work. Around a median of 1938 with over nine in ten predating 1990, these older houses carry masonry chimneys finished at the top with a concrete crown poured over the brickwork around the flue, which is the only thing covering the stack.
Climate & seasonal risk
6 months in Rutland have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 4.56 inches of an annual 40.29; both figures recorded at RUTLAND, 1.1 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.56 inches of a 40.29-inch year and six months average lows below freezing, so the crown is wetted through the summer and frozen through half the year; that is the cycle that opens a crack and then widens it.
How water losses tend to end in Rutland
- A thin concrete cap with no reinforcement, exposed on all sides at the highest point
- Water entering the top of the stack and running down inside the masonry
- Damage appearing at a ceiling or a wall beside the chimney, floors below
