What drying runs into in Colorado Springs
Serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding area, including Knob Hill, Roswell, Lowell Neighborhood, Villa de Mesa, Gold Hill Mesa, Old Colorado City, Mill Street Neighborhood, Patty Jewett.
Local housing stock
The typical Colorado Springs house dates to 1986, with close to three fifths of the stock (56.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. Around a median of 1986 with a little over half the stock older, the finished basements were framed to accommodate a floor that moves: the partitions hang from above with a gap at the bottom rather than bearing on the slab, and that gap is a path as well as an allowance.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 3.21 of the 19.02 inches Colorado Springs sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at COLORADO SPRINGS 3.7 ENE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at COLORADO SPRINGS MUNI AP 5.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at just over three inches of a nineteen inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the air is dry almost all year and drying is quick once an assembly is open; the constraint is the ground under the floor, which reacts to water rather than to weather.
How water losses tend to end in Colorado Springs
- Partitions framed clear of the slab, so water crossing a basement floor runs under every wall instead of stopping at one
- Ground beneath the slab that lifts when it takes water, so a leak left running changes the floor as well as wetting it
- Very dry air that dries the surfaces fast, so a room can look finished while the slab and the soil beneath are still wet
