What drying runs into in Fairhope
Serving Fairhope and the surrounding area, including Magnolia Beach.
Local housing stock
Only 64.4 percent of Fairhope's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1998 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1998 and about a third of the stock older, the exteriors are fiber cement boards fixed horizontally with their ends butted together and the joint filled, rather than lapped over a flashing, which leaves a line at every butt that depends on the sealant in it.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Fairhope has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 36.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 9.03 inches of an annual 69.31; both figures recorded at FAIRHOPE 2 NE, 1.8 miles away. July is the wettest month at over nine inches of a sixty-nine inch year, and nothing freezes, so there is a great deal more water falling on these walls than most places see; a joint that depends on a sealant bead is being tested by that volume every summer.
How water losses tend to end in Fairhope
- Butted joints sealed rather than flashed, so every board end relies on a bead that ages
- A very high annual rainfall, so those joints are loaded far harder than the same detail elsewhere
- Water getting behind the board at a joint, so the sheathing takes it while the cladding still looks sound
