What drying runs into in Billings
Serving Billings and the surrounding area, including North Elevation, Highland, Terry, East Central, Cameron Park, Rimrock, West Downtown, North Side.
Local housing stock
The typical Billings house dates to 1980, with close to three fifths of the stock (61.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Split-levels and tri-levels from the 1970s and 80s, with a lower level half below grade on a slab and a framed wall on the high side, are the ordinary stock, so a loss down there is read two ways: the buried wall and slab like a basement, the framed side like a room, and the carpet, pad and bottom drywall come out along both.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 2.36 of the 14.31 inches Billings sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BILLINGS LOGAN INTL AP, 1.4 miles away. Freezing lows from November into March put supply and sump lines on the calendar, but chinook winds break the cold every few weeks, so a line that split in a cold snap is found within days rather than at spring thaw; winter indoor humidity here is low enough that the wet finishes, not the air, set the pace, and May brings the heaviest rain and the seepage losses.
How water losses tend to end in Billings
- Split lines in a cold snap found when a chinook thaws the house days later, so the lower level is opened at the base and dried before the finishes go back
- May rain finding the low side of a split-level, so the slab at the buried wall is extracted and the framed wall on the high side is opened only where it reads wet
- Sump discharge lines freezing and backing up, so the basement floor is extracted and dried before the line is rerouted above the frost
