What drying runs into in Palmdale
Serving Palmdale and the surrounding area, including Downtown Civic Center, Anaverde, Rancho Vista.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Palmdale were built and the answer is 1989 at the median, 52.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the houses have stood in open high desert for decades, and fine wind-blown material has worked into the wall cavities and across the attic floor in that time; what is in the assembly is not what was installed in it.
Climate & seasonal risk
February brings 1.84 of the 7.32 inches Palmdale sees in a normal year, and July averages 82.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at PALMDALE, 0.7 miles away. February is the wettest month at under two inches of a seven inch year, with a warm season near a hundred degrees; there is almost no water and a great deal of wind, so what accumulates in a cavity is dust rather than damp.
How water losses tend to end in Palmdale
- Fine wind-blown material filling cavities over decades, so insulation is packed with dust before any water arrives
- Dust and water together making a dense material that holds moisture against the framing and will not dry
- Attic floors carrying a layer of it, so a ceiling loss involves clearing far more weight than the insulation alone
