Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in High Point were built and the answer is 1989 at the median, 51.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the fireplaces were built with a masonry chimney on the outside of the wall rather than within the plan, so there is a substantial mass of brick and block standing against the building and exposed on three sides to the weather.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, High Point gets 48.27 inches a year with August heaviest at 5.06, and the drying season runs from a 41.7-degree January to a 79.4-degree July; both figures recorded at HIGH PT, 2 miles away. August is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year with only one month averaging a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and long; masonry on the outside of a building takes that water into its depth and gives it back slowly against the wall it is attached to.
How water losses tend to end in High Point
- A masonry mass on the outside of the wall, so the building has a cold wet element permanently attached to it
- Brick that absorbs through its depth, so the chimney holds water long after the rain and feeds the junction with the wall
- A junction between masonry and frame that moves differently, so the joint between them opens over time
