What drying runs into in Fairfield
Serving Fairfield and the surrounding area, including Downtown.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Fairfield were built and the answer is 1986 at the median, 57.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1986 with about six in ten houses older, the houses are ordinary stucco over frame, and what distinguishes them is exposure rather than construction: the prevailing wind drives what rain there is against one face of every building in the area.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a December job at another, 73.8 degrees against 48.4; the 24.53 inches a year peak in December at 5.4, both figures recorded at FAIRFIELD, 2.1 miles away. December is the wettest month at over five inches of a twenty-five inch year with no freezing month at all, so the rain arrives in a handful of winter events, and it arrives sideways; one wall of a house takes most of a year's water and the other three take very little.
How water losses tend to end in Fairfield
- One elevation taking most of the driving rain, so the wall that fails is predictable from the direction rather than the detail
- Three walls that stay dry, so a reading taken on the wrong elevation says nothing about the building
- Water driven into joints rather than falling on them, so details that shed rain from above do not help
