What drying runs into in Jackson
Serving Jackson and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 45.7 percent of Jackson's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1987 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1987 with a little over half the stock older, the houses are heated by a heat pump with the outdoor unit standing on a pad against the building, and in cold weather that unit sheds the ice it forms directly onto the ground beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
One month in Jackson has a normal low below freezing, January at 31.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in March at 5.44 inches of an annual 51.15; both figures recorded at MCDONOUGH 5 ENE, 13.3 miles away. March is the wettest month at over five inches of a fifty-one inch year with only one month averaging a low below freezing, so the cold is brief but real; the unit defrosts on every cold night of it and puts that water at the base of the wall it stands against.
How water losses tend to end in Jackson
- A unit discharging meltwater at the foundation, so the wall is fed by the heating system itself
- A pad set against the building, so there is no distance between the discharge and the wall
- A source that runs only in cold weather, so the wet wall does not follow the rain and is attributed elsewhere
