What drying runs into in DeLand
Serving DeLand and the surrounding area, including Beresford Woods.
Local housing stock
44.8 percent of DeLand's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1996, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 1996 and under half the stock older, the houses are timber framed on ground where subterranean termites are active year-round, entering from the soil rather than flying in.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 55.49 inches, 8.7 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 81.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at DELAND 1 SSE, 1.1 miles away. July is the wettest month at 8.7 inches of a 55-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground stays warm and damp through every month; there is no season in which the colonies below become inactive.
How water losses tend to end in DeLand
- Insects following moisture, so a slow leak attracts them to the spot that is already damaged
- Damage inside the timber, so the face of a stud looks sound while the core has gone
- Two problems in one wall, so a repair that deals only with the water leaves the rest
