Local housing stock
50.6 percent of Kannapolis's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1989, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the slabs were poured with a box-out under each bathtub so the drain could be connected, and once the plumbing was in most of those voids were covered rather than filled, leaving a hollow in the floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.87 inches, 5.31 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 80.3 degrees in July; both figures recorded at CONCORD, 5.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm; a void in the slab under a tub collects whatever leaks into it and has no ventilation at any time of year.
How water losses tend to end in Kannapolis
- A hollow cast into the floor under the tub, so anything leaking at the drain collects rather than spreading
- A void covered rather than filled, so there is a closed space in the slab nobody can see into
- Water held below floor level in a warm closed space, so it sits there rather than evaporating
