What drying runs into in Sioux City
Serving Sioux City and the surrounding area, including Rose Hill, Fourth Street, St. Boniface, Morningside.
Local housing stock
Only 16.5 percent of Sioux City's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1957 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1957 with over eight in ten predating 1990, most of this housing has a full basement with block or poured walls that have been holding back frozen ground each winter for the better part of a century.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74.5 degrees against 19.2; the 32.27 inches a year peak in June at 5, rain recorded at SIOUX CITY PERRY CREEK 3 miles away and temperatures at SIOUX CITY ANG 6.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5 inches of a 32.27-inch year and five months average lows below freezing with January lows near 9 degrees, so the ground freezes hard and deep; soil that takes up water in autumn expands against the wall when it does.
How water losses tend to end in Sioux City
- Walls carrying a horizontal crack partway up, which is the record of that pressure rather than a new failure
- Existing cracks that open and close seasonally, so a wall that was sealed in summer leaks in spring
- Movement concentrated at one elevation, usually the one where water collects in autumn
