What drying runs into in Wilmington
Serving Wilmington and the surrounding area, including University Suites, Seahawk Village, Seahawk Landing, Shinnwood West, Lansdowne Estates, Cape Harbor Apartments.
Local housing stock
The typical Wilmington house dates to 1989, with about half of the stock (51.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the underside of the eaves on this housing is closed with vinyl panels held in a channel at the wall and at the fascia, clipped rather than fixed along their length.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Wilmington has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 36.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 8.69 inches of an annual 60.15; both figures recorded at WILMINGTON INTL AP, 4.1 miles away. September is the wettest month at 8.69 inches of a 60.15-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain arrives with tropical wind behind it; that is the one condition these panels were least able to resist.
How water losses tend to end in Wilmington
- A closure held by clips, so wind pressure alone can open the whole eave
- Rain driven up into the roof space once a panel has gone, with no roof damage at all
- Insulation and framing at the eaves wetted from below rather than from above
