Local housing stock
56.5 percent of Columbus's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1982, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1982 with a little over half the stock older, the houses were finished with masonry veneer across the front elevation and siding on the sides and back, which means the same building has two entirely different wall assemblies meeting at the corners.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 75.7 degrees against 30; the 47.34 inches a year peak in June at 5.31, both figures recorded at COLUMBUS, 2.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-seven inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season dry; the two wall types respond differently to that, and the corner where they meet is where the difference shows.
How water losses tend to end in Columbus
- Two wall assemblies on one house, so a reading taken on one elevation says nothing about another
- A corner where veneer meets siding, so there is a junction between two systems that drain and dry differently
- The masonry side holding water far longer than the sided sides, so half the building finishes while half runs on
