What drying runs into in Ballwin
Serving Ballwin and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
76.1 percent of Ballwin's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1976, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1976 with over three quarters predating 1990, these houses were framed in the ordinary way of the period, setting the bottom plate of every wall directly onto the foundation or slab without any separating layer beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 5.07 of the 44.6 inches Ballwin sees in a normal year, and July averages 79 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at BALLWIN 0.5 NNW 0.5 miles away and temperatures at ST CHARLES 7 SSW 6.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.07 inches of a 44.6-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the concrete is damp for much of the year and cold for a good part of it; timber lying on that face takes up whatever the concrete is holding.
How water losses tend to end in Ballwin
- Timber in direct contact with concrete, which moves moisture into it continuously
- The lowest framing in the building sitting at the exact point water collects
- Decay hidden behind the bottom of the wall finish, where nobody looks
