What drying runs into in Valparaiso
Serving Valparaiso and the surrounding area, including Burlington Beach, Crestview, Marian Manor, Coolwood Acres, Westhill.
Local housing stock
Roughly 9,398 of Valparaiso's 15,558 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1980; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1980 with six in ten homes predating 1990, a great many of the houses have a pipe and fan drawing air continuously from the gravel beneath the basement slab, so anything wet under that floor is connected to the inside of the building by a running fan rather than sealed away from it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73 degrees against 24.8; the 42.27 inches a year peak in August at 4.55, rain recorded at VALPARAISO 0.9 NNW 0.7 miles away and temperatures at VALPARAISO WTR WKS 2.3 miles away. Four months with lows below freezing set the split season from December into March, and the August rain peak lands when the ground under the slab is at its warmest and most able to give up moisture into a system that is pulling on it all day.
How water losses tend to end in Valparaiso
- A fan drawing continuously from beneath the slab, so moisture under the floor is delivered into the house rather than left there
- Gravel under the floor holding water after a subslab loss, so the source of the humidity is a space nobody can reach
- Systems that run unattended for years, so the fan keeps working through a loss and nobody thinks to switch it off
