What drying runs into in Clarksdale
Serving Clarksdale and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
81.2 percent of Clarksdale's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1964, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1964 with four in five houses older, the roofs were built with a vent at each gable and nothing at the eaves, so there is no path for air to move up through the space; the attic sits still and takes on whatever the house below and the weather give it.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Clarksdale gets 55.86 inches a year with April heaviest at 6.16, and the drying season runs from a 41.2-degree January to a 81.1-degree July; both figures recorded at CLARKSDALE, 0.8 miles away. April is the wettest month at over six inches of a fifty-six inch year with only one month averaging a low below freezing, so the wet season starts early and the warm season is long; an attic with no through ventilation is the most humid part of the building from spring until autumn, before any loss is involved.
How water losses tend to end in Clarksdale
- No path for air through the attic, so the space holds moisture as a standing condition rather than clearing it
- A ceiling loss drying into air that is already loaded, so the insulation and the board above take far longer than expected
- A baseline that has to be measured rather than assumed, because the space was never dry to begin with
