What drying runs into in Alhambra
Serving Alhambra and the surrounding area, including South San Gabriel, The Alhambra, East Los Angeles.
Local housing stock
Only 13.6 percent of Alhambra's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1960 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1960 with more than four in five houses older, the houses sit on a raised foundation with no exterior access to the underfloor at all; the only opening is a hatch cut in the floor inside, usually in a closet or a hallway.
Climate & seasonal risk
February brings 4.22 of the 15.67 inches Alhambra sees in a normal year, and August averages 76.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SAN GABRIEL FIRE DEPT, 2.1 miles away. The winters here are mild enough that the crawl never freezes and the summers dry enough that it never really dries, so the space under the floor sits at much the same moisture level all year rather than swinging with the seasons.
How water losses tend to end in Alhambra
- No exterior access to the underfloor, so everything goes in and out through an occupied room
- A hatch in a closet, so the opening is small and the route to it is through furniture and belongings
- A space that never swings seasonally, so there is no time of year when it is easier to work in
