Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Durham were built and the answer is 1995 at the median, 43.6 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1995 and well under half predate 1990, mostly frame with brick veneer over ventilated crawl spaces, so a loss ends under the floor and the wet material is the underfloor insulation, the subfloor and the joists.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 77.9 degrees against 38.4; the 49.96 inches a year peak in September at 5.9, rain recorded at DURHAM 1.2 NW 2.1 miles away and temperatures at DURHAM 5.7 miles away. September is the wettest month at 5.9 inches and two months sit below freezing with January lows near 28 degrees, so the heaviest rain comes at the end of a long warm season when the crawl space has been humid for months already.
How water losses tend to end in Durham
- Underfloor insulation soaking and sagging away from the joists, so it is pulled rather than dried
- Crawl-space vents drawing humid air in through the warm months, so the space starts a job already damp
- Brick veneer holding water at the base where it meets the foundation
