What drying runs into in Port Charlotte
Serving Port Charlotte and the surrounding area, including South Bay View Estates.
Local housing stock
The typical Port Charlotte house dates to 1983, with about three quarters of the stock (71.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1983 with seven in ten houses older, the whole community was platted on a grid of dug canals with a concrete or block seawall along each bank, all built within the same few years.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Port Charlotte has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 52.5 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 9.75 inches of an annual 58.52; rain recorded at NORTH PORT 2.6 E 5.1 miles away and temperatures at PUNTA GORDA 4 ESE 8.9 miles away. August is the wettest month at 9.75 inches of a 59-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground behind those walls is loaded heavily every wet season; a wall holding saturated fill is carrying far more than a dry one.
How water losses tend to end in Port Charlotte
- Retaining structures of one age, so they reach the end of their lives at the same time
- Fill washing out through the joints, so the yard behind loses ground before the wall moves
- Failure at the back of the lot, so it progresses toward the house rather than away from it
