What drying runs into in Asheville
Serving Asheville and the surrounding area, including Kenilworth, River Arts District, South Slope, Biltmore, Wind Oaks Town Homes, Pisgah View, Shiloh, West Asheville.
Local housing stock
The typical Asheville house dates to 1982, with close to three fifths of the stock (57.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1982 with nearly six in ten houses older, the low flat land by the water was warehouses and workshops for a century and has since been converted to studios, apartments and houses.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 4.69 of the 46.79 inches Asheville sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at ASHEVILLE 1.1 NNE 1.4 miles away and temperatures at ASHEVILLE 1.7 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.69 inches of a 47-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes with late-summer tropical remnants stalling against the mountains upstream.
How water losses tend to end in Asheville
- Buildings designed for industry now holding finishes and contents that industry did not
- Ground that was chosen because it floods, so the exposure is inherent not incidental
- Conversions of varying standard, so how a building was adapted determines what survives
