What drying runs into in Miami
Serving Miami and the surrounding area, including Little Havana, Buena Vista, Wynwood, Design District, Dinner Key, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Edgewater.
Local housing stock
Only 41.9 percent of Miami's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1979 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Concrete block with stucco outside and a skim of plaster or furred drywall inside is the typical wall, on a slab under tile or terrazzo. Block does not wick like wood, but its cores hold water, so the drying runs on the wall cavities and the slab rather than on framing that is not there.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 8.45 of the 57.18 inches Miami sees in a normal year, and August averages 83.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at MIAMI BEACH, 5.1 miles away. There is no dry season to speak of: even January air carries enough moisture that dehumidification never stops being the main tool, and a loss that would air-dry in a continental winter runs on sealed equipment here in every month of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Miami
- Block wall cores holding water for weeks after a flood, so the wall is drilled and read rather than assumed dry when the stucco looks fine
- Flat and low-slope roofs ponding a September storm, so the ceiling cavity is opened and the soaked insulation comes out before the leak is fixed
- Tile over a wet slab hiding the loss entirely, so the slab is metered through the grout before anyone decides the floor survived
