What drying runs into in Encinitas
Serving Encinitas and the surrounding area, including Manzanita Cove, Fox Point Farms, Olivenhain, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Leucadia.
Local housing stock
Only 24.4 percent of Encinitas's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1980 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1980 with three quarters of the stock older, the houses were built with skylights over halls, kitchens and bathrooms, and each of those sits on a raised curb; the roof is interrupted at every one, and the ceiling beneath it is finished board with a shaft running up to the opening.
Climate & seasonal risk
February brings 2.99 of the 12.59 inches Encinitas sees in a normal year, and August averages 70.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at ENCINITAS 3.34ENE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at CARLSBAD PALOMAR AP 5.4 miles away. February is the wettest month at under three inches of a thirteen inch year and the warm season only reaches the mid-seventies, so there is very little rain and very little heat to dry with; a shaft that took water in the wet months is in the coolest, least ventilated part of the house and gives its moisture up slowly.
How water losses tend to end in Encinitas
- Skylight curbs putting a joint in the roof directly over finished ceiling, so water entering there lands on board rather than in an attic
- A shaft between the roof and the ceiling closed on four sides, so there is no way to read or dry it without opening it
- A warm season that never gets hot, so nothing in the building helps and the shaft is dried entirely by equipment
