What drying runs into in Biloxi
Serving Biloxi and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
49.5 percent of Biloxi's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1990, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1990 with half the stock newer, a substantial share of the newer roofs are sprayed underneath rather than vented, which brings the roof space inside the conditioned envelope; the advantage is that it is no longer a hot humid void, and the cost is that water getting into that assembly has nowhere to go.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 8.09 of the 66.8 inches Biloxi sees in a normal year, and July averages 82.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BILOXI, 4.5 miles away. July is the wettest month at over eight inches of a sixty-seven inch year and nothing freezes, so the warm humid season runs most of the calendar; a sealed roof assembly taking water in that stretch has no ventilation path and no cold dry season ahead of it.
How water losses tend to end in Biloxi
- Roof assemblies sealed on the underside, so water between the deck and the foam has no route out in either direction
- Foam hiding the condition entirely, so a wet deck shows nothing from the attic side until it shows on a ceiling
- Mechanical equipment inside that sealed space, so a drain or line failure is enclosed with no ventilation around it
