What drying runs into in New Orleans
Serving New Orleans and the surrounding area, including Barrington Park, Little Woods, New Orleans East, Read Blvd East, Lake Forest, Read Blvd West, Plum Orchard, Camp Leroy Johnson.
Local housing stock
Roughly 160,480 of New Orleans's 195,552 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1960; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Raised shotgun and cottage houses on brick piers with heart-pine floors and plaster walls make up much of the stock, and the pier space beneath is where water collects and lingers, so the job is often dried from below with the crawl opened and the old pine left in place to give its moisture up slowly.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a January job at another, 84.7 degrees against 54; the 60.12 inches a year peak in August at 6.46, both figures recorded at NEW ORLEANS LAKEFRONT AP, 5.7 miles away. The air stays heavy from late spring through October, and there is no freeze to dry it out, so equipment runs sealed and long in every wet month, while dense old pine and plaster add days on top of the humidity before the readings settle.
How water losses tend to end in New Orleans
- The bay under a raised house holding water against the joists after the rooms are dry, so the crawl is opened and dried before anyone calls the job finished
- Heart-pine floors that cup and hold moisture for weeks, so mats and a long run are used rather than pulling wood that would be hard to replace
- Plaster on lath taking two or three times as long to dry as drywall, so the equipment stays well past the point the walls feel dry
