Local housing stock
81.8 percent of San Francisco's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1946, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1946 with more than eight in ten houses older, the older stock has been retrofitted to tie the frame to the foundation and brace the cripple walls, which means the lowest part of the structure has been opened and refixed.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a September job at one pace and a January job at another, 60.1 degrees against 52.4; the 30.03 inches a year peak in December at 6.21, rain recorded at BOLINAS 0.2 W 21.9 miles away and temperatures at SAN FRANCISCO OCEANSIDE 28.8 miles away. December is the wettest month at 6.21 inches of a 30-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the rain arrives in a concentrated winter; the base of a wall that has been opened and closed again meets that every year after.
How water losses tend to end in San Francisco
- Work concentrated at the base of the wall, so the repairs are where the water arrives
- Retrofits of widely varying quality, so what was done depends entirely on who did it
- Finishes replaced over new framing, so what is behind the wall is not the original
