Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Harrisonburg were built and the answer is 1987 at the median, 54.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1987 but with a substantial older core, the early houses sit on limestone laid dry, and a wall built that way is permeable by design: water in the ground moves through the joints into the cellar instead of being resisted, so the wall itself is rarely the wet material.
Climate & seasonal risk
4 months in Harrisonburg have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 22.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 4.6 inches of an annual 42.81; rain recorded at HARRISONBURG 0.8 NW 0.9 miles away and temperatures at DALE ENTERPRISE 3.6 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December into March, and the July rain peak lands when the ground above the rock is warm and charged; a dry-laid wall passes whatever the ground gives it, so the cellar tracks the season closely.
How water losses tend to end in Harrisonburg
- Walls laid without mortar, so water passes through the joints into the cellar rather than being held in the masonry
- A cellar that tracks the ground outside, so conditions change with the season independently of anything that happened inside
- Contents and framing in that cellar taking the water, so the material to deal with is what is in the room rather than the wall
