What drying runs into in Lubbock

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Lubbock were built and the answer is 1984 at the median, 57.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1984 with a little under six in ten houses older, the roofs are vented by spinning turbines rather than by ridge openings, and on the High Plains those turn almost every hour of every day rather than occasionally.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 81.1 degrees against 42.3; the 20.47 inches a year peak in September at 2.99, rain recorded at LUBBOCK 3.1 S 2.1 miles away and temperatures at LUBBOCK WFO 2.4 miles away. September is the wettest month at under three inches of a twenty inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the rain is slight; what is constant here is the wind, and it is the wind rather than the weather that acts on these buildings.
How water losses tend to end in Lubbock
- Turbines spinning almost continuously, so the attic is held at a lower pressure than the house below it
- Air drawn upward out of the living space, so moisture from inside is pulled into the roof
- A ventilation system doing more than it was meant to, so the fix is not more ventilation
