What drying runs into in Waipahu
Serving Waipahu and the surrounding area, including Waipio, Ho‘opili, Waikele, Village Park, Pearl Highlands, West Loch, Crestview, Royal Kunia.
Local housing stock
Roughly 7,745 of Waipahu's 9,800 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1971; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1971 with four in five homes older, a great deal of this stock is built single wall: vertical boards that are the structure, the outside and the inside surface all at once, so there is no stud cavity and no insulation, and a wet wall is one thickness of timber.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 17.06 inches, 2.72 of them in March, against a warm season that peaks at 79.2 degrees in August; both figures recorded at EWA BEACH USGS 702.2, 4.9 miles away. March is the wettest month at under three inches of a seventeen inch year and nothing approaches freezing, with lows in the sixties even in the coolest month; there is no seasonal swing to work with at all, so every drying job runs in the same warm, humid conditions whatever the date.
How water losses tend to end in Waipahu
- Walls that are one thickness of board with no cavity, so there is nothing to open up and nothing to remove but the wall itself
- The same board serving as inside surface, structure and outside face, so damage to it is structural and cosmetic at once
- A climate with no dry season, so a wall that is not dried mechanically does not dry at all
