Local housing stock
90.7 percent of Canton's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1947, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1947 with nine in ten predating 1990, these houses stand on stone or rubble basement walls that were skimmed with a cement coat at some point to tidy them, and that skim is now a separate layer with a gap behind it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73.9 degrees against 27.9; the 42.91 inches a year peak in June at 4.76, rain recorded at LOUISVILLE 6.4 miles away and temperatures at AKRON CANTON RGNL AP 8.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.76 inches of a 42.91-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the wall is cold through half the year and wet in early summer; water passing the stone collects behind the coat rather than showing on its face.
How water losses tend to end in Canton
- A surface that reads dry while the wall behind it is not, so a meter on the face gives the wrong answer
- Water held in the gap between coat and stone, so it travels sideways and appears somewhere else
- A coat that comes away in sheets once it has been wet, so the tidy wall is lost when the wall is dried
