What drying runs into in Sikeston
Serving Sikeston and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
74.2 percent of Sikeston's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1975, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1975 with three quarters of the stock older, the attics have had insulation added on top of what was there, often more than once, so the ceiling joists, the wiring and the fixture boxes are all under a deep layer that arrived long after the house did.
Climate & seasonal risk
April brings 5.5 of the 49.64 inches Sikeston sees in a normal year, and July averages 81 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SIKESTON PWR STN, 2 miles away. April is the wettest month at over five inches of a fifty inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a mild spring; a ceiling that takes water then is holding it under a deep layer of material that has to come off before anything can be read.
How water losses tend to end in Sikeston
- A deep layer over the ceiling plane, so the structure and the services above the board are buried
- Wet material that has to be cleared over a wide area before the ceiling can be assessed at all
- Fixture boxes and wiring under the insulation, so the electrical has to be established before anything is disturbed
