Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Kansas City were built and the answer is 1961 at the median, 82.8 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1961 but with a great deal older, the housing has been repaired piecemeal over decades, so a single wall commonly carries original plaster on lath in one section and board patched in beside it, and the two behave nothing alike when they get wet.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.33 of the 38.13 inches Kansas City sees in a normal year, and July averages 81 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at KANSAS CITY DOWNTOWN AP, 7.8 miles away. Three months with lows below freezing keep the split season short, and the June rain peak is over five inches, the heaviest of the year; in that month the building is warm and humid and the mixed wall is being dried without any seasonal assistance at all.
How water losses tend to end in Kansas City
- Plaster and board patched into the same wall, so one surface gives two different readings and neither is representative
- Board sections wicking and failing while the plaster beside them survives, so the removal line runs down the middle of a wall
- Decades of repairs with no record, so what is behind a given section is unknown until it is opened
