What drying runs into in Santa Monica
Serving Santa Monica and the surrounding area, including Ocean Park, Downtown Santa Monica, Golden Triangle.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Santa Monica were built and the answer is 1968 at the median, 81.4 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1968 and eight in ten predate 1990, stucco over frame with a large share of low-rise apartment buildings, so a unit loss reaches shared floor framing and the neighbors below before it reaches anything outside.
Climate & seasonal risk
February brings 3.1 of the 12.17 inches Santa Monica sees in a normal year, and August averages 66 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SANTA MONICA PIER, 0.2 miles away. February is the wettest month at 3.1 inches out of 12.17 for the year, but July highs reach only 69 degrees, so the marine air is cool and damp year round and drying is slow despite how little rain falls.
How water losses tend to end in Santa Monica
- Cool marine air holding drying back all year despite very low rainfall
- Low-rise apartment framing carrying a unit loss down into the homes below
- Stucco walls staying damp on the seaward side long after the interior is finished
