Local housing stock
59.6 percent of Wilson's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1983, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1983 with nearly six in ten predating 1990, these houses were finished at the rake with a trim board fitted under the roof edge and nothing between the covering and that board to throw water clear of it.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Wilson has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 32.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 6.08 inches of an annual 50.3; both figures recorded at WILSON 3 SW, 2.7 miles away. September is the wettest month at 6.08 inches of a 50.3-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain comes with tropical wind driving it sideways at the gable ends; that is exactly the condition the missing detail was meant for.
How water losses tend to end in Wilson
- Water tracking back under the roof edge at the rake rather than dropping clear
- The trim board and the sheathing behind it wetted at every storm
- Damage at the top of a gable wall, high up and out of ordinary sight
