Local housing stock
Only 44.9 percent of Bismarck's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1985 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1985 with a little over half the stock older, the walls were built for a severe climate but the difference across them in midwinter is extreme, and moisture from inside the house reaches the cold part of the cavity and condenses there; the assembly carries a seasonal moisture load of its own.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 3.47 of the 20.03 inches Bismarck sees in a normal year, and July averages 69.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at BISMARCK 1.3 WNW 1.1 miles away and temperatures at BISMARCK 2.4 NNW 1.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at under three and a half inches of a twenty inch year, six months average a low below freezing and January bottoms out near four degrees, so the year is dry and the winter is severe; a wall opened in February has a standing winter load in it that has nothing to do with the loss.
How water losses tend to end in Bismarck
- Cavities that collect condensation through the winter, so a wall has a seasonal moisture load before anything happens to it
- Readings in midwinter that include that load, so a target taken from general guidance would never be reached
- Water that appears at the bottom of a bay each spring, so the visible sign is at the plate and looks like a leak
