What drying runs into in Smyrna
Serving Smyrna and the surrounding area, including Smyrna Heights, Gilmore, Woodmere, Smyrna Grove, Miralia.
Local housing stock
The typical Smyrna house dates to 1990, with about half of the stock (50.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1990s work. The median build year is 1990 and the stock runs from postwar ranches to newer infill on the same streets, so one loss may involve plaster and plank while the one next door is board and engineered floor, and what can be dried in place differs between two houses of the same size.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 51.06 inches, 4.87 of them in March, against a warm season that peaks at 76.1 degrees in July; rain recorded at SMYRNA 2.3 NE 2.5 miles away and temperatures at MABLETON 1 N 3.6 miles away. The rain peaks in March with only one month averaging a freezing low, so the wettest stretch falls in the shoulder season when the furnace has stopped and the cooling has not started; the indoor air is then at its least helpful, and a spring loss runs several days longer than a January one.
How water losses tend to end in Smyrna
- Losses in the shoulder season with neither heating nor cooling running, so the building has no background drying at all and the equipment does everything
- Older and newer houses side by side, so the same wet ceiling is plaster in one and board in the next and the scope is decided house by house
- Crawl spaces under the older stock with the newer stock on slab, so two houses on a street need completely different drying setups
