What drying runs into in Laredo

Local housing stock
Only 63.2 percent of Laredo's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1997 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1997 and under two houses in five predating 1990, the walls are masonry veneer over frame with the insulation and the board on the inner side, so when that assembly is wet the sun on the outside face pushes the moisture the only way it can go, which is inward.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Laredo has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 46.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 3.87 inches of an annual 19.68; both figures recorded at LAREDO 2, 0.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at under four inches of a twenty inch year and the warm season runs past a hundred degrees with nothing freezing, so the outside of a wall gets extremely hot while the inside is held cool; that difference is what decides which way moisture moves, and here it moves into the house.
How water losses tend to end in Laredo
- Sun on the outer face driving moisture inward, so a wet wall unloads into the conditioned room rather than to the outside
- Interior finishes taking moisture from the wall behind them, so the damage appears on the cool side well after the wall got wet
- Extreme surface heat that dries the outside quickly, so the wall looks recovered from the street while the inner face is still loading
