What drying runs into in Sitka
Serving Sitka and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Sitka house dates to 1980, with about three quarters of the stock (72.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1980 with nearly three quarters of the stock older, the town is on an island with no road connection, so every sheet of board and every piece of equipment used in a repair has been shipped in.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 102.06 inches, 14.79 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 55.7 degrees in August; both figures recorded at SITKA 1 NE, 9.5 miles away. October is the wettest month at 14.79 inches of a 102-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the rain is relentless and the building stays wet; the one thing that cannot be hurried is how fast materials arrive.
How water losses tend to end in Sitka
- Materials on a shipping schedule, so the work is paced by the barge rather than the drying
- Equipment in limited supply locally, so several jobs may be waiting on the same machines
- A climate with no dry window, so any delay means the building stays wet through it
