What drying runs into in Kenai
Serving Kenai and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Kenai house dates to 1983, with roughly two thirds of the stock (69 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1983 with seven in ten houses older, the houses are built with an enclosed unheated entry at each door, a small room that holds the cold and the snow outside the heated part of the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
7 months in Kenai have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 7.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 3.57 inches of an annual 18.27; both figures recorded at KENAI MUNI AP, 1.6 miles away. September is the wettest month at 3.57 inches of an 18-inch year and seven months average a low below freezing, so the entry is below freezing for over half the year; snow carried into it melts there and nowhere else.
How water losses tend to end in Kenai
- A room that is unheated but enclosed, so meltwater collects in it rather than draining away
- A floor at outside temperature against a heated wall, so condensation forms at that junction
- Plumbing occasionally run through it, so a line passes through a space that goes below freezing
