What drying runs into in Frankfort
Serving Frankfort and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Frankfort house dates to 1972, with about three quarters of the stock (76.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1972 but with a substantial older core, the early houses were built with soft brick laid between the wall studs as fill, for stiffness and warmth, so those walls have masonry buried inside a timber frame.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Frankfort have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 25.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 5.44 inches of an annual 50.52; rain recorded at FRANKFORT 1.9 N 1.6 miles away and temperatures at FRANKFORT CAPITAL CITY AP 2.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.44 inches of a 50-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the wettest weather is warm and the wall has months to take water up; soft brick inside a frame gives it back far more slowly than it takes it in.
How water losses tend to end in Frankfort
- Masonry buried inside a timber wall, so there is a reservoir where a cavity is expected
- Soft brick against structural framing, so the studs stay damp where they touch it
- A wall that reads dry at the surface, so meter readings from the face understate it badly
