What drying runs into in Jackson
Serving Jackson and the surrounding area, including Under the Oaks.
Local housing stock
Only 7 percent of Jackson's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1938 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1938 with nine in ten houses older, the full-width front porches were built on masonry piers with a wooden floor over a shallow space beneath, and at some point most of them were closed in at the perimeter, leaving a void with no ventilation.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 38.29 inches, 4.91 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 71.6 degrees in July; rain recorded at JACKSON 3.2 W 3.2 miles away and temperatures at JACKSON REYNOLDS FLD 3.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at under five inches of a thirty-eight inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; a closed space under a porch floor takes that water and has neither air nor sun to lose it to.
How water losses tend to end in Jackson
- A closed void under the porch floor, so anything that gets in stays and there is no ventilation at all
- Timber framing in that void bearing the porch, so what is decaying is structural rather than cosmetic
- A space nobody can enter, so its condition is unknown until the porch floor gives
