What drying runs into in Albany
Serving Albany and the surrounding area, including North Albany.
Local housing stock
Only 44.6 percent of Albany's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1983 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1983 with a little over half the stock older, the crawl spaces were given a plastic sheet over the ground to hold soil moisture down, which works while the ground is below it and does something else entirely when the ground is not.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Albany gets 43.11 inches a year with December heaviest at 7.23, and the drying season runs from a 40.3-degree December to a 67.6-degree August; rain recorded at ALBANY 0.7 NE 0.9 miles away and temperatures at CORVALLIS STATE UNIV 4.6 miles away. December is the wettest month at over seven inches of a forty-three inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season runs long and hard; the valley water table rises through it, and in the wettest months it comes up above the level of the crawl floor.
How water losses tend to end in Albany
- A sheet laid to keep ground moisture down, so it traps rising water above it instead
- A liner that floats and folds, so the barrier ends up in the wrong place and holds water where it lands
- A winter water table above the crawl floor, so the condition returns every year regardless of the building
