What drying runs into in Muncie
Serving Muncie and the surrounding area, including "Cheese Box".
Local housing stock
The typical Muncie house dates to 1963, with over four fifths of the stock (79.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1960s work. Around a median of 1963 with eight in ten predating 1990, a great many of these houses have gained a hood or a small porch roof over the entrance at some point, put up long after the house and tied into the wall rather than into the roof.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.81 of the 40.26 inches Muncie sees in a normal year, and July averages 76 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at MUNCIE DELAWARE CO AP, 2.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.81 inches of a 40.26-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the junction takes heavy summer rain and a winter of freezing; the wall behind it is the one the front door sits in.
How water losses tend to end in Muncie
- A roof fixed into a finished wall, so the flashing was retrofitted rather than built in
- Water entering above a doorway, which is the least forgiving opening in the building
- An addition nobody thinks of as part of the roof, so it is never inspected with one
