Local housing stock
Only 41.8 percent of Decatur's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1975 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1975 but with a great deal of the stock from the 1920s, the older bungalows began on brick piers with open air beneath them and had a solid wall built around the perimeter at some later point, so the space under the floor is now enclosed without ever having been designed as an enclosure.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.11 of the 53.19 inches Decatur sees in a normal year, and July averages 79.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at DECATUR 1.2 SE 1.1 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 7.2 miles away. Only one month averages a freezing low and the rain peaks in July, so there is no cold season to draw a building down; under a crawl that was closed in without ventilation, that means the space beneath the floor has no dry stretch in any month of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Decatur
- Crawl spaces closed in after the fact with no vents, so the space under the floor has neither the air of an open crawl nor the sealing of a closed one
- Access limited to a single small opening, so equipment and anyone working has to go in and out through one point
- Brick piers still carrying the floor inside that enclosure, so the structure sits in a space that stays damp all year
