Local housing stock
Only 51.6 percent of Jacksonville's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1992 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1992 and under half the stock older, a great many garages have been converted, and the way it is done is the same each time: a framed wall built into the opening where the door used to be, standing on the original slab at its original level.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 7.48 of the 56.51 inches Jacksonville sees in a normal year, and July averages 80.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at NEW RIVER MCAF, 2.1 miles away. August is the wettest month at over seven inches of a fifty-seven inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain lands in the warmest part of the year; a wall standing on a garage slab at the old door line takes that rain at its base with nothing under it.
How water losses tend to end in Jacksonville
- A framed wall on the original door line, so the bottom plate sits where the slab was meant to end
- A slab laid to drain outward, so the new wall stands at the low edge of a floor that falls toward it
- No flashing or upstand at the base, so the plate is in contact with the surface water is running to
