What drying runs into in Hays
Serving Hays and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 7,172 of Hays's 9,702 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1973; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median build year is 1973 and the stock is frame houses over basements and crawl spaces on the high plains, where the framing lives most of its life extremely dry, so when water arrives the wood takes it up readily and a stud can be wet well above the line anything is visible at.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 24.85 inches, 3.89 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 80.2 degrees in July; rain recorded at HAYS 0.3 WSW 0.4 miles away and temperatures at HAYS 1.1 miles away. Under twenty-five inches fall in a year and five months average lows below freezing, so the air is dry in both extremes and evaporation from an open surface is quick; what the dryness does not do is stop material from absorbing, and it is absorption rather than evaporation that sets the scope here.
How water losses tend to end in Hays
- Framing that lives at very low moisture content, so it draws water up well past the visible wet line before anyone measures it
- Fast surface evaporation in dry air, so a wall looks finished within a day while the studs behind it are still carrying water
- Five freezing months with outbuildings and unheated rooms on the same supply, so a split happens where nobody is standing
