What drying runs into in Appleton

Local housing stock
76.8 percent of Appleton's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1971, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1971 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the houses have a run of penetrations through the band joist just above grade: a dryer vent, sometimes a sleeve for a window unit, and whatever has been added since.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.65 of the 33.15 inches Appleton sees in a normal year, and July averages 71.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at APPLETON, 2.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at under five inches of a thirty-three inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the snow season long; the band sits at the level where snow is piled and where splash lands, all winter and through the spring.
How water losses tend to end in Appleton
- Penetrations through the band just above grade, so there are openings at the wettest level of the wall
- Sleeves and vents fitted at different times, so each one was sealed by a different hand and ages differently
- A band joist that is the bearing point for the floor, so what is wet is structural rather than a finish
