What drying runs into in Corvallis
Serving Corvallis and the surrounding area, including South Corvallis, Skyline Valley.
Local housing stock
63.8 percent of Corvallis's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1978, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1978 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, a good number of the houses had rigid foam fixed to the outside of the walls and new siding put over it during the energy retrofits of the period.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Corvallis has a normal low below freezing, and December is the coolest at 33.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in December at 7.82 inches of an annual 44.39; rain recorded at CORVALLIS 0.6 ENE 0.7 miles away and temperatures at CORVALLIS STATE UNIV 6.2 miles away. December is the wettest month at 7.82 inches of a 44-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season is long, mild and continuous; a wall with no drainage gap behind its cladding has eight months of input and no drying period.
How water losses tend to end in Corvallis
- Cladding fixed tight over foam, so there is no gap for water to run down and out
- A vapor-resistant layer outside the sheathing, so the wall cannot dry outward either
- Work done to improve the house, so nobody suspects the retrofit of causing the damage
