What drying runs into in Lakeville
Serving Lakeville and the surrounding area, including Argonne, Marion Fields.
Local housing stock
Only 71.7 percent of Lakeville's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1999 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1999 and under three houses in ten predating 1990, the exterior walls were built for a cold climate with a continuous polyethylene sheet behind the board on the warm side, which is correct for the winter and means that a cavity that gets wet has no route inward.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 72.3 degrees against 15.4; the 32.32 inches a year peak in June at 4.89, both figures recorded at FARMINGTON 3 NW, 4 miles away. June is the wettest month at under five inches of a thirty-two inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the year is dry and the winters are severe; the sheet is doing its job for most of that year, and the only time it works against the building is when there is already water in the wall.
How water losses tend to end in Lakeville
- A continuous sheet on the warm side, so a wet cavity cannot release into the room and the insulation has to come out
- Board that reads dry over a wet bay, so the surface gives no indication of the cavity behind it
- Walls that are otherwise well sealed, so what gets in stays in until the assembly is opened
