What drying runs into in Shawnee
Serving Shawnee and the surrounding area, including Monticello Farms, Gleason Glen.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Shawnee were built and the answer is 1990 at the median, 50.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1990 with about half the stock older, the fireplaces are direct-vent units taking their air and discharging through a single penetration in the outside wall rather than up a chimney, and that opening is usually low, often not far above the grade outside.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 5.64 of the 40.78 inches Shawnee sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LENEXA 2.0 NE 3.2 miles away and temperatures at BONNER SPRINGS 5.8 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-one inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring when the ground outside is at its fullest; an opening low in the wall at that time is close to standing water.
How water losses tend to end in Shawnee
- A wall penetration close to grade, so the opening is near the wettest part of the exterior
- A sealed sleeve through the assembly, so water getting in at it is inside the wall rather than at a surface
- An opening behind a unit that cannot be moved, so the inside of it is not accessible for inspection
