What drying runs into in Brock Hall
Serving Brock Hall and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Brock Hall were built and the answer is 2008 at the median, 11.9 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2008 and barely one house in eight predating 1990, the plans are open and tall: a family room or entry running the full height of the building with a balcony around it, which gives one volume of air with a great deal of vertical distance in it.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 4.51 of the 45.01 inches Brock Hall sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at UPPER MARLBORO 3 NNW, 1.4 miles away. September is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-five inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives at the end of a humid season; in a tall room in that stretch the difference between the air at the ceiling and the air at the floor is at its widest.
How water losses tend to end in Brock Hall
- A tall single volume, so warm dry air rises and the wet floor sits in the coolest part of the room
- Equipment that reports conditions where it stands, so a reading at head height says nothing about the floor
- A balcony and upper level sharing the same air, so the drying condition has to be created in a space far larger than the wet area
