What drying runs into in De Smet
Serving De Smet and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
55.6 percent of De Smet's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1988, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. The median building dates to 1988 and just over half predate 1990, frame with lap siding over crawl spaces, so a winter loss reaches the underfloor space and sits there until someone with equipment can get out to it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a December job at another, 66.7 degrees against 28.7; the 28.52 inches a year peak in January at 3.79, both figures recorded at PLUMMER 3 WSW, 11.9 miles away. January is the wettest month at 3.79 inches out of 28.52 for the year, with five months below freezing and January lows near 24 degrees, so the wettest month and the freeze arrive together and the ground stays cold and wet for months.
How water losses tend to end in De Smet
- Heaviest precipitation arriving in midwinter, when the ground is frozen and nothing drains away from the building
- Long distances to equipment, so water sits longer before drying starts
- Crawl space ground staying cold and saturated right through the cold season
