What drying runs into in Richmond
Serving Richmond and the surrounding area, including Reeveston.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Richmond were built and the answer is 1957 at the median, 87.9 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1957 but much of the core is older, frame with balloon framing where stud bays run uninterrupted from sill to attic, so a leak high in a wall can wet the bay its whole height and appear only at the bottom.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.8 of the 42.86 inches Richmond sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at RICHMOND WTR WKS, 1.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.8 inches and four months sit below freezing with January lows near 20 degrees, so summer storms supply the water and the heating season provides the dry air that finishes the job.
How water losses tend to end in Richmond
- Balloon-framed stud bays carrying water from attic to sill with no firestop to catch it
- Wet bays showing only at the bottom of the wall, so the opening starts where the water ended
- Knob-era wall cavities packed with loose fill that holds water against the studs
