What drying runs into in Irvine
Serving Irvine and the surrounding area, including Oak Creek, Cypress Village, Travata, El Camino Real, Woodbridge, Woodbury, Woodbury East, Quail Hill.
Local housing stock
Only 64.4 percent of Irvine's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 2002 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 2002 with roughly a third of the stock predating 1990, a large share of this housing is attached, and the separating wall is built as a specified assembly with its own layers rather than as an ordinary partition with board on each side.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Irvine gets 14.12 inches a year with February heaviest at 3.39, and the drying season runs from a 55.6-degree January to a 75.2-degree August; both figures recorded at TUSTIN IRVINE RCH, 1.9 miles away. February is the wettest month at 3.39 inches of a 14.12-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so almost every loss here starts inside the building; when one does, the separating wall is frequently the wettest thing in the room.
How water losses tend to end in Irvine
- A wall that has to go back exactly as it was, so the repair is specified rather than improvised
- Two homes either side of the same assembly, so access is needed from both to dry it properly
- Insulation and layers inside the wall, so there is more material holding water than a partition would have
