What drying runs into in Prentiss
Serving Prentiss and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Prentiss house dates to 1965, with close to nine in ten of the stock (93.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1965 with over nine in ten predating 1990, this is a small town of houses set up on masonry piers with the space beneath left open around its whole perimeter rather than closed in with a skirt or a curtain wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 61.48 inches, 6.14 of them in April, against a warm season that peaks at 83.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at PRENTISS 1 miles away and temperatures at MONTICELLO 14 miles away. April is the wettest month at 6.14 inches of a 61.48-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so this is among the wettest places anywhere and the rain arrives with wind; an open underfloor takes driven rain directly onto the joists and the underside of the boards.
How water losses tend to end in Prentiss
- The floor structure exposed to the weather from below as well as to the room above
- Wind-driven rain reaching insulation and ductwork that were never meant to be rained on
- Ground beneath the house wetted across its whole area rather than only at the edges
