What drying runs into in Garner
Serving Garner and the surrounding area, including Malibu Valley, Southview, Staunton Meadows, Kirkwall Villas, Van Story Hills, Heather Hills, Blackman, Kimber Woods.
Local housing stock
The typical Garner house dates to 2001, with about a third of the stock (37.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 2000s work. With a median build year of 2001 and under four in ten homes predating 1990, the main floors are laminate and vinyl plank floated over a thin underlayment rather than fastened down, so water that gets beneath one plank spreads under the entire continuous run and the boards lift where the pressure finds them.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 5.63 of the 50.72 inches Garner sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at GARNER, 2.9 miles away. September is the wettest month and three months average a freezing low, so the heaviest rain lands at the end of a long warm season when the building is still closed and cooled; a floated floor wet in September has the humid half of the year against it.
How water losses tend to end in Garner
- Floated floors over a continuous film, so water spreads under the whole run and there is no barrier at a doorway to stop it
- Boards lifting and cupping rooms away from the failure, so the visible damage does not indicate where the water came from
- Underlayment film holding water against the subfloor, so the panel below stays wet after the covering looks dry
