What drying runs into in Portland
Serving Portland and the surrounding area, including Irvington, Sullivan's Gulch, Lloyd District, Kerns, Eliot, Sabin, Alameda, Grant Park.
Local housing stock
Only 30.4 percent of Portland's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1966 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Wood-frame bungalows and ranches on basements and crawl spaces, with plaster in the older stock and drywall after, are the ordinary building, so a loss below the floor is dried through a crawl or basement that is damp for half the year, and the plaster above dries in place slowly.
Climate & seasonal risk
December brings 7.28 of the 44.86 inches Portland sees in a normal year, and August averages 69.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at PORTLAND 0.8 ENE 0.6 miles away and temperatures at PORTLAND KGW-TV 2.3 miles away. December is the wettest month and the middle of a cool damp season that runs into spring, when drying needs heat as well as dehumidification, while the dry warm summer is the short window when a sealed room reaches the standard quickly.
How water losses tend to end in Portland
- Basements taking winter seepage through the floor, so the finishes come out and the concrete is dried with heat added to a sealed run
- Crawl spaces damp from November into April taking a leak from above, so the insulation comes out and the subfloor is dried from below
- Plaster walls in pre-war bungalows holding water through the wet season, so the wall is dried in place over a long run rather than cut
