What drying runs into in Helena

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Helena were built and the answer is 1974 at the median, 66.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1974 with two thirds of the stock older, the houses are ordinary frame, and what happens to them is the climate: at this elevation the heating season drives indoor humidity into single figures and the timber in the building responds.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Helena gets 14.43 inches a year with June heaviest at 2.71, and the drying season runs from a 23-degree January to a 70.6-degree July; rain recorded at HELENA 2.0 NNW 2 miles away and temperatures at HELENA RGNL AP 2.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at under three inches of a fourteen inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the air is thin and dry and the heating runs for half the year; indoor humidity in that stretch falls far below what timber holds its dimension at.
How water losses tend to end in Helena
- Timber shrinking through the heating season, so joints throughout the building open a little each winter
- Gaps at floors, trim and framing junctions, so water released has more routes than it would elsewhere
- A loss that travels further than its size suggests, because the building has opened up to let it
