What drying runs into in Pearl
Serving Pearl and the surrounding area, including Skyway Hills, McLaurin Heights, Patton Place, Randall Place, Bates Park, Pine Park, Melvin Heights.
Local housing stock
Only 38.2 percent of Pearl's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1982 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1982 with six in ten predating 1990, these are brick-faced houses on slabs where the veneer was carried down past the finished grade, leaving the lowest courses and the cavity behind them below the level of the surrounding soil.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Pearl gets 57.35 inches a year with April heaviest at 5.84, and the drying season runs from a 47-degree January to a 82.1-degree July; both figures recorded at JACKSON INTL AP, 3.4 miles away. April is the wettest month at 5.84 inches of a 57.35-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground around these walls is wet for most of the year; brick sitting in that soil takes water up rather than shedding it.
How water losses tend to end in Pearl
- Masonry in contact with damp soil, so moisture enters the wall from beneath rather than from rain
- Drainage openings at the base of the brick buried below grade, so the cavity cannot discharge
- A wall that is wet at its lowest point continuously, so the interior base of it never fully dries
