Local housing stock
42.3 percent of Olathe's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1994, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 1994 and under half the stock older, the houses were built with a raised deck fixed to the back of the building, and that connection is made into the band joist that closes the floor structure; the fixings pass through the exterior skin into the edge of the floor itself.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Olathe have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 20 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 5.26 inches of an annual 40.73; both figures recorded at OLATHE 3E, 3.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-one inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; a band joist taking water in that season is enclosed on the inside by insulation and finish and gets no air from either direction.
How water losses tend to end in Olathe
- A deck fixed into the band joist, so water at that connection is in the edge of the floor structure rather than on the outside of the wall
- A wet band enclosed by insulation on the inside, so there is no air reaching it from the house
- Damage found from inside the basement or crawl, so the sign is well below and behind the deck that caused it
