Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Gastonia were built and the answer is 1978 at the median, 64.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1978 with two thirds predating 1990, the houses are brick ranches over crawl spaces with the supply ducting run under the floor, and a great deal of that ducting is rigid fiberboard, which loses its shape and its lining once it is wet and cannot be returned to service.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 80.5 degrees against 42.1; the 44.35 inches a year peak in June at 4.38, rain recorded at GASTONIA 1.8 SSE 2.1 miles away and temperatures at GASTONIA 2.7 miles away. June is the wettest month and only one month averages a freezing low, so the crawl space under a house is warm and humid for most of the year; fiberboard ducting sitting in that space is already working hard before any loss adds to it.
How water losses tend to end in Gastonia
- Fiberboard ducting under the floor, so a run that takes water is replaced rather than dried and the cost lands on the mechanical side
- Ducting resting on the crawl space ground, so the lowest ducts are the first to take water and the last to be looked at
- The system distributing moisture through the house while it runs, so the building gets wetter until the blower is shut off
