What drying runs into in Alameda

Local housing stock
84.2 percent of Alameda's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1965, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1965 with more than four in five houses older, the houses are raised on a low foundation with a short stud wall carrying the floor above it, so between the concrete and the floor framing there is a band of timber a few feet high running all the way round.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 18.68 inches, 3.84 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 64.8 degrees in September; both figures recorded at OAKLAND METRO INTL AP, 2.6 miles away. December is the wettest month at under four inches of a nineteen inch year and the warm season only reaches the low seventies, so there is little rain and no heat at all; a low timber wall under the floor is in the coolest, least ventilated part of the building year round.
How water losses tend to end in Alameda
- A short timber wall between the foundation and the floor, so the lowest framing sits close to the ground
- A band that runs the whole perimeter, so the wet area follows the building line rather than a room
- A space under the floor that never warms, so anything wet down there dries on the slowest schedule in the house
