What drying runs into in Valdosta
Serving Valdosta and the surrounding area, including Prescott, Schoer Estates, Wood Valley, Five Points, Forrest Place, Lincoln Park, Forrestwood Estates, South Ree Springs.
Local housing stock
55.2 percent of Valdosta's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1986, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1986 with a little over half the stock older, the floors are slabs poured within a perimeter of block rather than thickened at the edge, and that junction between two materials is never as tight as the middle of the pour; flooring lifts there first and the wall base takes what the floor does not.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Valdosta has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 39.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 6.96 inches of an annual 54.62; rain recorded at VALDOSTA 2.8 NNW 2.7 miles away and temperatures at VALDOSTA 2 S 3.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at nearly seven inches of a fifty-five inch year with no freezing month and a warm season in the low nineties, so the ground around that block perimeter stays wet and warm for most of the year; a slab edge here is drying against a condition rather than a season.
How water losses tend to end in Valdosta
- A joint between slab and block at the floor perimeter, so the edge of every room is where moisture appears rather than the middle
- Flooring bonded across that joint, so the covering releases in a band around the room and not at the loss itself
- Block stem walls holding moisture in their cores below floor level, so the slab edge is resupplied from beneath the finish
