What drying runs into in Tybee Island
Serving Tybee Island and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Tybee Island house dates to 1984, with close to three fifths of the stock (59.3 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. Around a median of 1984 with six in ten homes predating 1990, the houses are raised on pilings with the ground level left open for parking and storage, so the living floor has outside air directly beneath it and water that gets into the floor structure can leave downward as well as be extracted from above.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 50.98 inches, 6.58 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 83 degrees in July; rain recorded at DAUFUSKIE ISLAND 1.7 SW 6.5 miles away and temperatures at SAVANNAH INTL AP 22.3 miles away. August is the wettest month at over six inches and no month freezes, so the warm season is long and the air beneath a raised floor is humid for most of it; the open underside helps with drainage and does very little for drying.
How water losses tend to end in Tybee Island
- Open air beneath the living floor, so water drains out of the structure quickly and the extent is underestimated as a result
- Salt air moving constantly under that floor, so the framing and its fixings sit in a corrosive environment while damp
- Storage kept at ground level under the house, so porous contents sit directly below the wet floor and take what comes through
