What drying runs into in Louisville
Serving Louisville and the surrounding area, including Original Highland Neighborhood, Wilder Park, Whiskey Row, Bonnycastle Neighborhood, Highlands-Douglass Neighborhood, Wyandotte/Oakdale, Russell, Beechmont.
Local housing stock
Roughly 198,017 of Louisville's 289,095 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1971; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Brick-veneer ranches and two-stories on basements and crawl spaces, with older shotgun and camelback houses on piers nearer the river, are the ordinary stock, so a loss is dried through a basement in one house and from below through a crawl or pier space in the next.
Climate & seasonal risk
2 months in Louisville have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 27.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 5.18 inches of an annual 48.34; both figures recorded at LOUISVILLE INTL AP, 3 miles away. May is the wettest month and the start of a humid summer when a sealed dehumidified run is the only way a basement dries, while December and January bring freezing lows and split lines, and the dry heated air of those months speeds the drying that follows.
How water losses tend to end in Louisville
- Finished basements taking May seepage, so the pad and lower drywall come out and the concrete is dried through the humid season
- Crawl spaces and pier spaces under older houses holding water after a leak, so the insulation comes out and the subfloor is dried from below
- Supply lines in unheated crawl spaces splitting in a January freeze, so the thaw reveals a loss that ran for days
