What drying runs into in Torrance
Serving Torrance and the surrounding area, including El Nido.
Local housing stock
90.4 percent of Torrance's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1964, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1964 with nine in ten houses older, the windows are largely original: single glass in aluminum frames with no thermal break, set into stucco walls. Those frames run cold whenever the outside does, and what condenses on them goes straight down into the sill and the wall below.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 13.76 inches, 3.69 of them in February, against a warm season that peaks at 69.7 degrees in August; both figures recorded at REDONDO BEACH, 1.1 miles away. February is the wettest month at under four inches of a fourteen inch year and the warm season only reaches the mid-seventies, so almost no water arrives from outside at all; what wets these walls comes from inside the house, and it does it every cool night rather than during a storm.
How water losses tend to end in Torrance
- Uninsulated metal frames that run cold, so moisture from inside the house collects on them and drains into the wall
- A source inside rather than outside, so nothing about the weather explains what is happening to the wall
- Damage that recurs every winter, so the finish below a window fails repeatedly without any leak
