What drying runs into in Decatur
Serving Decatur and the surrounding area, including Sherwood Estates, Bayside, Brookmeade.
Local housing stock
The typical Decatur house dates to 1977, with about three quarters of the stock (71.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1970s work. Around a median of 1977 with about seven in ten houses older, the standard plan had an open carport beside the house, and a great many of those have since been walled in and finished as rooms; the slab underneath them was poured for parking, without the barrier that goes under a floor meant to be lived on.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Decatur gets 57.97 inches a year with December heaviest at 5.97, and the drying season runs from a 41.8-degree January to a 79.3-degree July; both figures recorded at DECATUR 4SE, 3.2 miles away. December is the wettest month at close to six inches of a fifty-eight inch year with only one month averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the mildest damp part of the year; a slab with nothing beneath it takes moisture from the ground continuously in that stretch, before any loss is counted.
How water losses tend to end in Decatur
- A slab poured for parking and later lived on, so there is no barrier between the ground and the floor finish
- Flooring bonded to that slab lifting without any loss at all, so the covering has often failed before water is involved
- A converted room at a different level from the rest of the house, so water crossing the step collects in it
