What drying runs into in Bridgeport
Serving Bridgeport and the surrounding area, including The Vale, Cherry Grove Estates, Eastpointe.
Local housing stock
The typical Bridgeport house dates to 1979, with close to three fifths of the stock (56.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1970s work. Around a median of 1979 with a little under six in ten houses older, a great many were re-clad at some point in aluminum or vinyl fixed straight over the original wood, so the wall now carries two claddings with a void between them and no way for the inner one to dry outward.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.4 of the 44.84 inches Bridgeport sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at CLARKSBURG BENEDUM AP, 0.9 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-five inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season short; the original siding trapped behind the new one stays damp through that warm wet stretch with nothing moving across it.
How water losses tend to end in Bridgeport
- Two claddings with a void between them, so the inner one cannot dry outward and stays wet
- Water getting behind the outer skin and running down between the two, so it arrives at the bottom of the wall unseen
- A wall whose outer surface says nothing about what is under it, so the assessment means taking the outer cladding off
