What drying runs into in Tuscaloosa
Serving Tuscaloosa and the surrounding area, including Parkwood, Green Valley, Beech Hills, El Dorado East, Kicker Subdivision, University Lane, Pine Hills, Norris Estates.
Local housing stock
Only 47.5 percent of Tuscaloosa's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1988 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1988 with just over half the stock older, most of these houses discharge their roof water onto a concrete block laid on the soil at the base of each downspout, set on backfill that has been settling since the house was built.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Tuscaloosa has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 35.2 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in February at 5.85 inches of an annual 58.15; rain recorded at TUSCALOOSA 4.4 SE 3.8 miles away and temperatures at NORTHPORT 2 S 3.9 miles away. February is the wettest month at 5.85 inches of a 58.15-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so this is among the wettest places in the country and the discharge is constant; a block that has tipped delivers all of that against the foundation.
How water losses tend to end in Tuscaloosa
- A whole roof plane's water delivered at one point, so the volume at each block is large
- Ground that keeps settling beside the house, so the block tips further every year
- A defect that looks like nothing, since a sunken block is not a fault anybody photographs
