What fails in Marathon
Serving Marathon and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
1982 is the median build year in Marathon, and 67 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. Close to a quarter of the homes here are held for seasonal use and more than one in eight is manufactured, and where a manufactured home closed for the season has a metal roof held down by screws, the rubber washers beneath their heads harden in the sun and salt, and September's rain follows each loose screw into a roof cavity that no running cooling is drying.
Climate & seasonal risk
The normal dewpoint in Marathon stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from June through September, reaching 75.9 in August; September is the wettest month, with 6.37 of 39.72 inches, rain recorded at MARATHON AP 1.7 miles away and dewpoint 47.3 miles away. Barely a fifth of a mile from open water at the city's center, the air carries salt fine enough to drift indoors wherever doors and windows leak, and through September, the wettest month, the thin film it leaves on tile, glass and counters keeps drawing water from the air until it is wiped away.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Screws on the metal roofs of manufactured homes, more than one home in eight, whose rubber washers harden in sun and salt and let September's rain into the roof cavity
- Salt drifting indoors through leaky doors and windows, about a fifth of a mile from open water, leaving a film on tile, glass and counters that holds moisture
- Seasonal homes, close to a quarter of the total, closed through September with the cooling set high, where indoor salt and humid air together keep counters, tile and fabric damp
