What drying runs into in Aberdeen
Serving Aberdeen and the surrounding area, including South Aberdeen.
Local housing stock
Roughly 6,159 of Aberdeen's 7,040 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1948; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1948 with nearly nine in ten homes predating 1990, the houses are frame with board sheathing and very little cavity insulation, so the wall is a thin assembly with a lapped outer skin and the wet material after a loss is the boarding and the studs rather than any panel product.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Aberdeen gets 84.94 inches a year with January heaviest at 13.93, and the drying season runs from a 41.7-degree December to a 61.8-degree August; both figures recorded at ABERDEEN, 1.1 miles away. January brings nearly fourteen inches of an eighty-five inch year and the warm season peaks at 68 degrees, so there is no dry stretch and no hot stretch at any point on the calendar; every pound of moisture that leaves a building here leaves through equipment.
How water losses tend to end in Aberdeen
- Fourteen inches in January alone, so gutters, valleys and every roof detail are carrying volume rather than rainfall and a failure delivers a great deal in hours
- No month in the year offering useful outside air, so ventilation is never part of the plan and the building stays closed
- Board sheathing with lapped joints holding water in gaps that air cannot reach, so the wall lags behind the room by days
