Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Greensboro were built and the answer is 1985 at the median, 58.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1985 with a little under six in ten houses older, the subfloors and sheathing are pressed wafer board rather than plywood, and that material fails in a specific way: the cut edges take up water, swell, and stay swollen after everything has dried, so the damage outlasts the moisture.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.89 inches, 5.8 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 79.5 degrees in July; both figures recorded at GREENSBORO WTP, 1.3 miles away. July is the wettest month at nearly six inches of a forty-six inch year with only one month averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the warmest part of a long humid season; a subfloor wet in July has days rather than hours before the edges have taken up what they are going to take up.
How water losses tend to end in Greensboro
- Wafer board subfloor swelling at the panel edges, so the floor develops permanent ridges along every joint that got wet
- Swelling that does not reverse on drying, so a dry reading does not mean a usable floor
- Panel edges landing at the joists, so the ridges sit exactly where a new floor covering needs to be flat
