Local housing stock
70.6 percent of Findlay's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1971, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1971 with seven in ten houses older, the floors over the crawl spaces were insulated with batts pushed up between the joists and held with wire or staples, and that material is the first casualty of any water down there: it takes up several times its own weight and then comes down.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Findlay gets 37.67 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.19, and the drying season runs from a 26.4-degree January to a 74.1-degree July; both figures recorded at FINDLAY WPCC, 1.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at just over four inches of a thirty-eight inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is warm and the cold season is genuinely cold; a crawl space in June is the most humid part of the building before anything has even happened to it.
How water losses tend to end in Findlay
- Batt insulation between floor joists, so wet material falls and lies on the ground while the subfloor above it stays damp
- Insulation held up against the subfloor, so the one surface that needs to dry is the one being covered
- Access limited to a hatch and a few feet of headroom, so removing wet material takes longer than drying the structure does
