What drying runs into in Vicksburg
Serving Vicksburg and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Vicksburg were built and the answer is 1967 at the median, 85.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1967 with over eight in ten homes predating 1990, a substantial part of the older stock has ceilings twelve feet and higher with tall windows and deep plaster, so a room of ordinary floor area encloses half again the air of a modern one and the equipment is sized to the volume rather than to the square of the floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 82.7 degrees against 47.8; the 58.08 inches a year peak in April at 5.86, rain recorded at VICKSBURG 1.7 SSW 1.1 miles away and temperatures at VICKSBURG CITY 4.4 miles away. April is the wettest month and no month averages a freezing low, so the heaviest rain arrives in spring and the year has no cold stretch to finish anything; in a tall room that means every cubic foot of a large volume has to be dried mechanically.
How water losses tend to end in Vicksburg
- Ceilings twelve feet and higher, so the air volume in an ordinary room is half again what the floor area would suggest
- Tall plaster walls that hold water at the base and release slowly, so the wet part of the room is the part hardest to ventilate
- Deep original trim and full-height sash, so material that cannot be replaced in kind has to be dried rather than removed
