Local housing stock
Roughly 27,790 of Brownsville's 64,878 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1995; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1995 with under half the stock older, a good share of the roofs are metal sheet fixed to purlins with no solid deck beneath, which leaves the underside of the panel exposed to the air in the roof space rather than separated from it by sheathing.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 28.74 inches, 5.8 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 85.7 degrees in August; rain recorded at BROWNSVILLE 3.5 N 2.9 miles away and temperatures at WFO BROWNSVILLE 5.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at close to six inches of a twenty-nine inch year with no freezing month and a warm humid season most of the year; air in a roof space carrying that much moisture will condense on any surface that cools, and a metal panel cools faster than anything else in the building.
How water losses tend to end in Brownsville
- Metal fixed over open framing, so the underside of the roof is exposed directly to the air in the space
- Panels that lose heat quickly after dark, so moisture collects on them in a climate that always has some to give
- Water arriving on the ceiling with no rain involved, so the roof is inspected from above and found sound
