What drying runs into in New Bern
Serving New Bern and the surrounding area, including Old Town Harbor, Fox Hollow, DeGraffenried Park, Chelsea Square, Quail Ridge, Trent Shores, Oakdale, Edgewood.
Local housing stock
Roughly 8,673 of New Bern's 16,816 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1989; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1989 with just over half the stock older, the town sits where two rivers meet and open to the sound, and the flooding that reaches the houses is water pushed upstream rather than rain running down.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, New Bern gets 57.42 inches a year with September heaviest at 7.74, and the drying season runs from a 44.5-degree January to a 80.4-degree July; rain recorded at TRENT WOODS 1.0 NNE 1.1 miles away and temperatures at NEW BERN CRAVEN CO AP 2.4 miles away. September is the wettest month at 7.74 inches of a 57-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wettest month is the height of the storm season; the rain and the surge arrive together and the surge is what gets into the buildings.
How water losses tend to end in New Bern
- Salt water rather than fresh, so the material is contaminated as well as wet
- Salt left behind after drying, so the wall keeps taking up moisture from the air afterward
- Metal fixings and connectors affected, so the damage continues long after the drying is finished
