What drying runs into in Bemidji
Serving Bemidji and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 4,134 of Bemidji's 7,232 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1982; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1982 with under six in ten predating 1990, a recognizable share of this housing includes a sauna in the basement or the lower level, built as a lined room with a heater, a bench and frequently a drain in the floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 68.5 degrees against 7.1; the 27.51 inches a year peak in June at 4.49, rain recorded at BEMIDJI 4.2 miles away and temperatures at CASS LAKE 14.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.49 inches of a 27.51-inch year and six months average lows below freezing with January lows below zero, so the house is closed up for half the year; a room producing steam daily in a closed house has to be dealt with deliberately.
How water losses tend to end in Bemidji
- A room built to be hot and wet, inside a basement that is cool and closed
- Moisture driven into the assembly rather than landing on it
- A ventilation arrangement that has to work every time the room is used
