What drying runs into in Milwaukee

Local housing stock
Roughly 228,525 of Milwaukee's 259,101 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1953; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Brick and frame two-story houses and duplexes on stone or block basements, with plaster walls upstairs and finished rooms below, are the typical stock, so a loss is usually a basement job where the finishes come out and the wall base is dried, and the plaster above is dried in place over a long run.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73.1 degrees against 21.9; the 33.82 inches a year peak in June at 4.84, both figures recorded at MT MARY COLLEGE, 3.2 miles away. Freezing lows from November into March split lines in unheated spaces and build ice dams, and the heated indoor air of those months is dry enough to help a sealed run along, while the humid summer off the lake is when a basement dries slowest.
How water losses tend to end in Milwaukee
- Stone-foundation basements taking spring seepage, so the finishes come out and the wall base is dried before the room is put back
- Plaster walls in duplexes drying slowly after an upstairs leak, so the equipment stays well past the point the walls feel dry
- Supply lines in unheated rear stairwells splitting in a January freeze, so the thaw reveals a loss that ran through two units
