Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Chapel Hill were built and the answer is 1988 at the median, 54 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1988 with just over half the stock older, a good share of this housing is in the contemporary style of its period, where the roof plane runs out to the wall line and stops rather than projecting over it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 43.56 inches, 4.41 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 79.5 degrees in July; both figures recorded at CHAPEL HILL WILLIAMS AP, 1.3 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.41 inches of a 43.56-inch year and one month averages lows below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives with tropical wind behind it; a wall with nothing projecting above it takes that rain over its whole height.
How water losses tend to end in Chapel Hill
- No eave protecting the top of the wall, so the cladding is wetted from the roof edge down
- Water running off the roof directly onto the wall face rather than clear of it
- The junction at the top of the wall carrying the whole roof's discharge where there is no gutter
