Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Minneapolis were built and the answer is 1951 at the median, 78.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Stucco and wood-sided houses on full basements, with plaster over lath upstairs and finished rooms below, make up most of the stock, so the basement is where losses collect and the plaster upstairs is dried in place slowly, never rushed with a cut it does not need.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Minneapolis have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 8.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.65 inches of an annual 33.29; rain recorded at MINNEAPOLIS 0.4 NE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at LOWER ST ANTHONY FALLS 1.5 miles away. Freezing lows from November into March make split supply lines and ice dams the winter losses, and the heated indoor air of that season is dry enough that a sealed room reaches the standard quickly, while June brings the heaviest rain and the humid stretch when a basement dries slowest.
How water losses tend to end in Minneapolis
- Ice dams pushing meltwater into the wall cavity behind the plaster, so the wall is opened at the top plate and dried from inside before spring
- Finished basements taking spring-melt seepage, so the pad and lower drywall come out and the block wall base is dried
- Supply lines in exterior walls and unheated porches splitting in a January freeze, so the thaw reveals a loss that ran for days
