Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Salt Lake City were built and the answer is 1965 at the median, 73 percent of them finished by 1990. Brick bungalows and ranches on full basements, with plaster in the older stock and drywall in the rest, are the typical building, so a loss is usually a basement job, and the dry air upstairs and down means the finishes that come out are the only slow part of the drying.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Salt Lake City have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 27.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in April at 2.54 inches of an annual 17.72; both figures recorded at SALT LAKE TRIAD CTR, 1.9 miles away. April is the wettest month and the start of the mountain snowmelt that raises groundwater under basements, while the dry air in every season lets a sealed room reach the standard quickly and three months of freezing lows keep split lines on the winter calendar.
How water losses tend to end in Salt Lake City
- Basements taking spring-runoff seepage through the floor, so the pad and lower drywall come out and the concrete is dried in a sealed run
- Plaster walls in pre-war bungalows holding water after a roof leak, so the wall is dried in place over a longer run than the dry air suggests
- Supply lines in unheated garages splitting in a January freeze, so the thaw reveals a loss that ran into the basement
