What drying runs into in Eagan
Serving Eagan and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Eagan house dates to 1988, with close to three fifths of the stock (58.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Around a median of 1988 with under six in ten homes predating 1990, a great many lower levels were framed out after the house was sold, and the bottom plate in that work is frequently ordinary lumber laid straight onto the concrete, so the wood at the floor line takes moisture from the slab whether or not anything has leaked.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 34.07 inches, 4.99 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 74.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at ROSEMOUNT 3.3 WNW 4.1 miles away and temperatures at MINNEAPOLIS/ST PAUL AP 5.7 miles away. The heaviest rain of the year falls in June, when the basement floor is still carrying the cold of a winter that ran five months; a plate lying on that concrete is colder than the room around it and is the last piece of wood in the building to release.
How water losses tend to end in Eagan
- Untreated bottom plates laid directly on the slab, so the wood at the floor line is taking moisture from the concrete as a standing condition
- Owner-built framing with no barrier under the plate, so there is nothing separating wood from a floor that is always slightly damp
- Board fastened to that framing down to the floor, so the plate is enclosed and cannot be read without an opening
