What drying runs into in Slidell
Serving Slidell and the surrounding area, including Fremaux Town Center, Foxhollow.
Local housing stock
Roughly 8,287 of Slidell's 12,203 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1979; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1979 with nearly seven in ten predating 1990, this housing is built the way the region builds: a continuous block wall around the perimeter, the space inside it filled with sand and soil, and the floor slab poured on top of that fill.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 7.52 of the 65.08 inches Slidell sees in a normal year, and July averages 81.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at SLIDELL 0.2 SE 0.8 miles away and temperatures at SLIDELL 1.8 miles away. July is the wettest month at 7.52 inches of a 65.08-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground is wet nearly all the time; fill held inside a wall in that climate stays saturated rather than draining the way open ground would.
How water losses tend to end in Slidell
- Fill retained inside a perimeter wall, so water entering it has no way out at the sides
- A floor slab sitting on that fill rather than on undisturbed ground
- A leak under the slab staying inside the footprint of the house rather than dispersing
