What drying runs into in Duluth

Local housing stock
Roughly 5,067 of Duluth's 13,841 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1994; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1994 and only about a third of the stock predating 1990, a good share of the houses were finished with a synthetic render over insulation board rather than a traditional coat, and that system is close to sealed; whatever gets behind it stays behind it, against the sheathing.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 54.13 inches, 5.16 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 79.6 degrees in July; rain recorded at DULUTH 0.9 ENE 0.9 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 12.3 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a fifty-four inch year with no freezing month at all, so the wall stays warm and damp through the season the losses cluster in; a sealed exterior in that climate has no route out in either direction, and the sheathing behind it does not recover on its own.
How water losses tend to end in Duluth
- A sealed exterior skin, so water that gets behind it cannot dry outward and stays against the sheathing
- Damage that is invisible from outside, so a wall can be gone behind a render that looks perfect
- Sheathing and framing that have been wet for a long time before anyone knows, so what is found is decay rather than a fresh loss
