What drying runs into in Tarpon Springs
Serving Tarpon Springs and the surrounding area, including Cove Springs, Forest Ridge, The Meadows, Santos Isle Apartment Complex, Union Academy, Historic Sponge Docks, Gleneagles, Parkside Colony.
Local housing stock
Only 31.9 percent of Tarpon Springs's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1984 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1984 with two thirds predating 1990, the stock runs from early frame houses with dense old-growth pine floors to 1980s block on slab, so on one street the floor is saved and refinished and on the next it is lifted and thrown away.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 9.66 of the 54.29 inches Tarpon Springs sees in a normal year, and August averages 83.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at TARPON SPGS SEWAGE PLT, 1.6 miles away. August is the wettest month and no month freezes, so the summer is long, warm and heavy, and an old pine floor being dried through it needs air moved under it as well as over it; the drier stretch from November onward is when the same job would take half the time.
How water losses tend to end in Tarpon Springs
- Dense old-growth pine floors worth saving, so the method is mat drying and patience rather than removal, and the run is longer for it
- Shallow crawl spaces under the older houses, so air has to be forced under the floor rather than simply circulated
- Two very different housing eras on adjacent streets, so what is saved in one house is discarded in the next
