What drying runs into in Compton
Serving Compton and the surrounding area, including Rancho Dominguez, Willowbrook.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Compton were built and the answer is 1957 at the median, 86.3 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1957 with over eight in ten predating 1990, these small postwar houses were built without ducts, heated instead by a gas unit recessed into a central partition so that one appliance serves the rooms on both sides of it.
Climate & seasonal risk
February brings 2.96 of the 11.77 inches Compton sees in a normal year, and August averages 72 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at HAWTHORNE MUNI AP, 6.4 miles away. February is the wettest month at 2.96 inches of an 11.77-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heating runs rarely and briefly; a house with no ductwork also has nothing that moves air between its rooms at any time of year.
How water losses tend to end in Compton
- An appliance sitting inside a wall cavity, so a loss in that wall involves gas equipment
- No ducted system, so nothing in the building circulates air during a drying run
- Rooms that each hold their own conditions, so one can stay damp while the rest reads dry
