What drying runs into in Fairmont City
Serving Fairmont City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 995 of Fairmont City's 1,043 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1952; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1952 with virtually the whole stock older, the basements were dug shallow and the services were run beneath the floor joists rather than between them, which leaves a usable height that an adult cannot comfortably stand in.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 44.62 inches, 5.14 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 78.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at CENTREVILLE 1.9 E 5.4 miles away and temperatures at CAHOKIA ST LOUIS AP 6 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-five inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; a low basement in that month holds humid air with very little volume to move it through.
How water losses tend to end in Fairmont City
- Under six feet of clear height, so standing equipment does not fit and everything works on the floor
- Services below the joists, so the ductwork and pipes take up the height that is left
- A small volume of air, so humidity in that space climbs faster than it would in a full-height basement
