Local housing stock
28.6 percent of New Braunfels's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 2006, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 2006 and under three in ten houses older, the historic core carries a distinctive German building tradition where a heavy timber frame is infilled with limestone rubble and lime mortar between the members.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a January job at another, 83 degrees against 49.3; the 35.42 inches a year peak in May at 4.42, rain recorded at NEW BRAUNFELS 0.1 ENE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at NEW BRAUNFELS 4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.42 inches of a 35-inch year with no freezing month and July highs above 93, so the walls take heavy spring rain and then a long hot summer; lime and timber together need to breathe through both.
How water losses tend to end in New Braunfels
- Timber and masonry sharing one wall, so the two materials move against each other
- Lime mortar in the panels, so modern hard repairs trap water rather than letting it out
- Structural frame inside the wall, so what gets wet is the building rather than a finish
