What drying runs into in Gulfport
Serving Gulfport and the surrounding area, including Bear Creek, Westminster Heights.
Local housing stock
Roughly 7,080 of Gulfport's 7,952 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1963; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1963 with eight in ten homes older than 1990, the stock is single-wythe concrete block finished with coatings inside and out, so the wall has a film on each side and water that gets into the block is sealed in from both directions until one of those faces is opened.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 56.04 inches, 9.62 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 84 degrees in August; rain recorded at SOUTH PASADENA 0.6 E 1.4 miles away and temperatures at ST PETERSBURG 5.2 miles away. August is the wettest month at over nine inches and no month comes near freezing, so the building is warm and the air is heavy through the wet season; a coated block wall in that stretch has neither a dry face nor a dry season to release into.
How water losses tend to end in Gulfport
- Block walls coated on both faces, so a wet wall is sealed from both sides and cannot release until a coating is removed
- Single-wythe construction with no cavity, so there is no air space anywhere in the wall for equipment to work in
- Efflorescence and blistering paint as the first sign, so the wall announces itself by damaging its own finish rather than by reading wet
