What drying runs into in Escondido
Serving Escondido and the surrounding area, including East Valley, Felicita, Country Club, Old Escondido, Oak Hill, Orange Glen, Rancho Verde, Auto Park.
Local housing stock
The typical Escondido house dates to 1981, with about three quarters of the stock (71.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1981 with seven in ten houses older, a great deal of the housing is set into slopes, and the floors were poured in stepped sections rather than as one level plane; each step is a separate pour with a joint at the change of level.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Escondido has a normal low below freezing, and December is the coolest at 43.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in February at 3.65 inches of an annual 14.89; rain recorded at ESCONDIDO 0.8 NNE 1.1 miles away and temperatures at ESCONDIDO #2 1.2 miles away. February is the wettest month at under four inches of a fifteen inch year with no freezing month and a warm season in the high eighties, so the air is dry enough to be useful most of the year; the difficulty is not the season but that water on an upper step has one place to go and stays there.
How water losses tend to end in Escondido
- A floor poured in steps, so water released on an upper level runs to the drop and collects on the slab below it
- A joint at every change of level, so the lower pour takes water at its edge where two slabs meet
- Rooms at different levels within one floor, so the wet area is decided by the steps rather than by the plan
