What drying runs into in Florissant
Serving Florissant and the surrounding area, including Old Town Florissant.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Florissant were built and the answer is 1963 at the median, 95.7 percent of them finished by 1990. The median build year is 1963 and the subdivisions repeat one plan with small variations, brick veneer over frame on a poured basement finished as a rec room, so the wet material is predictable house to house and the thing that changes is how long it took before anybody looked under the ceiling grid.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Florissant gets 42.01 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.51, and the drying season runs from a 32.1-degree January to a 80.4-degree July; rain recorded at FLORISSANT 1.3 E 1.5 miles away and temperatures at ST LOUIS LAMBERT INTL AP 4.1 miles away. Three months with normal lows below freezing keep the split season short, and the May rain peak lands when the basement floor is still cold from winter and the air above ground has already turned humid, which is the combination that makes a lower level condense while it is being dried.
How water losses tend to end in Florissant
- Drop ceilings in finished basements catching water from the floor above, so the loss is hidden until a tile gives way
- Poured walls furred and boarded as rec rooms, so the concrete is behind two layers and can only be read through an opening at the base
- Repeated floor plans where the same fitting fails in the same corner, so the wet area is at the far end of the basement from the stair
