Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Gainesville were built and the answer is 1994 at the median, 45.8 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 1994 and under half the stock older, the fireplaces were prefabricated units set in a framed and clad chase projecting from the outside wall, which is a tall enclosed box attached to the building and open to it at the firebox rather than a masonry mass built into it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 52.38 inches, 4.95 of them in January, against a warm season that peaks at 78.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at GAINESVILLE GILMER AP, 1.3 miles away. January is the wettest month at close to five inches of a fifty-two inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain lands in the coolest part of a mild year; a chase that takes water in that stretch is an unheated box on the outside of a warm building, and it does not dry on its own.
How water losses tend to end in Gainesville
- A framed box on the outside of the wall, so the assembly is outside the insulation and gets none of the building's heat
- A chase open to the house at the firebox, so water inside it has a route into the room
- A tall enclosure with no ventilation, so what gets in stays and works downward through the framing
