What drying runs into in Idaho Falls
Serving Idaho Falls and the surrounding area, including Snake River Landing, West Idaho Falls, Downtown.
Local housing stock
Roughly 17,404 of Idaho Falls's 26,531 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1977; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1977 with two thirds predating 1990, the houses sit over vented crawl spaces on the plain, and a winter failure under the floor does not simply drain away: the water freezes where it lands and builds up against the ground and the joists, so nothing is found until the space warms.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Idaho Falls have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 16.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 1.93 inches of an annual 13.49; both figures recorded at IDAHO FALLS - KIFI, 2 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing and under fourteen inches of precipitation in a year mean the air is both very cold and very dry, so a crawl space in January is well below freezing along its whole length; the May rain peak is under two inches and is not what produces the work here.
How water losses tend to end in Idaho Falls
- Water freezing where it lands in a vented crawl, so a winter failure accumulates as ice rather than draining and is found weeks later
- Ice against the underside of the floor, so the subfloor and joists take water slowly over a long period rather than quickly
- Crawl vents left open through the winter, so the space runs at outdoor temperature and the line inside it has no protection
