What drying runs into in Long Beach
Serving Long Beach and the surrounding area, including Cambodia Town, Willowville, Belmont Shore, Los Altos, Naples, Vista del Mar, California Heights, Marina Pacifica.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Long Beach were built and the answer is 1959 at the median, 88.3 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median build year of 1959 and 88.3 percent of the stock built before 1990, stucco over lath and plaster on a raised wood floor is ordinary, so a loss reaches the subfloor and joists through the finish floor and the drying is done from the crawl space as much as from the room.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Long Beach gets 12.02 inches a year with February heaviest at 3.02, and the drying season runs from a 56.7-degree December to a 74.3-degree August; both figures recorded at LONG BEACH DAUGHERTY FLD, 2.5 miles away. February is the wettest month at 3.02 inches and the year totals only 12.02, with July highs near 81 degrees, so the mild air is favorable but the enclosed space under the floor holds its moisture far longer than the rooms above it.
How water losses tend to end in Long Beach
- Water reaching the joists through a raised floor, so the drying is set up underneath rather than in the room
- Lath and plaster staying sound at the face while the keys behind it hold water
- Crawl-space air staying damp after the rooms are finished, so the floor takes moisture back up
