What drying runs into in Jacksonville
Serving Jacksonville and the surrounding area, including Miramar Terrace, Norwood, Mandarin, Beeghly Heights, Ortega Forest, Goodbys, Ortega Terrace, Sans Pareil.
Local housing stock
The typical Jacksonville house dates to 1987, with close to three fifths of the stock (55.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Pre-war and mid-century frame houses sit on crawl spaces while the later stock is slab-on-grade, so a loss in one part of town is dried from below through the crawl and in another it is a slab-and-drywall job, and the age of the house says which before anyone opens a wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 53.1 inches, 7.84 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 83.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at JACKSONVILLE 4.2 ESE 4.5 miles away and temperatures at JACKSONVILLE NAS 7.2 miles away. The wet season runs into September and keeps the air heavy, but the winter here is mild and comparatively dry, so a loss in January can be brought to a dry reading in days while the same loss in August runs a week on sealed equipment.
How water losses tend to end in Jacksonville
- Crawl spaces under frame houses staying damp after a leak overhead, so the subfloor is dried from below and the insulation between the joists comes out
- Slab neighborhoods from the 1980s with laminate floors trapping water underneath, so the floor comes up rather than being dried through
- Ceiling cavities under September roof leaks holding water in the insulation, so the cavity is opened and dried before the roof repair is even finished
