What drying runs into in Las Cruces
Serving Las Cruces and the surrounding area, including Mesquite, Alameda-Depot, Mesilla Park.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Las Cruces were built and the answer is 1991 at the median, 48.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1991 with about half the stock older, a meaningful part of the older housing is built in earth block rendered over, and that material behaves nothing like masonry: it takes water readily, softens as it does, and does not recover its strength when it dries out again.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a December job at another, 82.4 degrees against 43.9; the 10.96 inches a year peak in August at 2.65, rain recorded at LAS CRUCES 2.0 WSW 0.1 miles away and temperatures at STATE UNIV 3.5 miles away. August is the wettest month at under three inches of an eleven inch year with only two months averaging a low below freezing, so the walls are dry almost all the time and the rain arrives concentrated in late summer; earth that is wetted in that stretch is being asked to take water it has not seen for a year.
How water losses tend to end in Las Cruces
- Walls of earth block that soften when wet, so the question is structural rather than a matter of moisture content
- A render over the outside that hides both the wetting and the damage, so the wall is assessed by probing rather than by looking
- Material that does not regain strength on drying, so anything that has gone soft is a repair and not a drying job
