What drying runs into in Hobbs
Serving Hobbs and the surrounding area, including Chaparral Mobile Home Park.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Hobbs were built and the answer is 1980 at the median, 66.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1980 with two thirds of the stock older, the houses were built to be cooled by evaporation rather than by refrigeration, which puts a unit on the roof, a supply line up to it, and a duct opening down through the ceiling into the middle of the house.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 2.46 of the 13.77 inches Hobbs sees in a normal year, and July averages 81.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at HOBBS, 1.7 miles away. September is the wettest month at under two and a half inches of a fourteen inch year with only two months averaging a low below freezing, so the air is dry almost all year and an open assembly dries quickly; what it does not solve is a ceiling that has been taking water from above for a season.
How water losses tend to end in Hobbs
- A water line run up to the roof, so the supply most likely to fail sits directly above finished ceilings
- A unit that adds moisture to the house as its normal function, so the building runs damper in summer than the climate suggests
- A duct opening straight down through the ceiling, so water from a roof unit has a direct path into the middle of the house
