What fails in Penney Farms
Serving Penney Farms and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Since 1990, Penney Farms has added 12.9 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1954; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. A 1950s slab poured on bare ground, with no plastic sheet beneath, passes the soil's moisture up through the concrete into whatever covers it, and where vinyl tile or carpet lies tight over such a floor, the water is held at the surface.
Climate & seasonal risk
Penney Farms spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.07 inches in a normal year, 7.3 fall in June, rain recorded 8.1 miles away and dewpoint 19.5 miles away. Well above any tide at about 91 feet, the town takes June's rain on brick, stucco and tile, where cooling added to the older apartment buildings after they were built can leave condensate tubing dripping down the outside face of the masonry.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Slabs of 1950s houses poured without a plastic sheet beneath, passing the soil's moisture up into the vinyl tile and carpet laid over them
- Brick and stucco walls on the Memorial Home Community's historic buildings, where rain soaked into the masonry dries slowly through the humid months
- Condensate tubing from cooling added to older apartment buildings, run out through the wall and left to drip down the masonry, keeping one strip of it wet
