What drying runs into in Mobile
Serving Mobile and the surrounding area, including Country Club Village, Bridlewood, Sherwood, Quail Run, Toulminville, Skyland Park Estates, Belvedere, Lloyds.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Mobile were built and the answer is 1975 at the median, 76.8 percent of them finished by 1990. The stock is largely ranch-era frame houses with brick veneer, built over crawl spaces on flat ground, so a loss inside usually means the crawl underneath is wet too, the insulation between the joists comes out, and the subfloor is read from below as well as from the room.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 7.28 of the 68.47 inches Mobile sees in a normal year, and August averages 83.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at MOBILE 1.2 WSW 0.2 miles away and temperatures at MOBILE DWTN AP 3.7 miles away. Rain arrives in nearly every month and the summer air is close to saturated, so the crawl space rarely dries on its own, and a sealed dehumidified run both upstairs and below the floor is what brings a Mobile house to a dry reading.
How water losses tend to end in Mobile
- Crawl spaces under ranch houses holding water long after the rooms are dry, so the insulation comes out and the joists are dried from below
- Sixty-plus inches of rain a year keeping crawl-space humidity high, so a subfloor that reads dry in a dry climate reads wet here for weeks
- Brick-veneer walls trapping water at the bottom plate after a floor-level loss, so the drywall is cut low and the plate read before closing
