What drying runs into in Beaufort
Serving Beaufort and the surrounding area, including Peace Haven.
Local housing stock
Only 41.4 percent of Beaufort's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1984 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1984 with nearly six in ten houses older, and a historic core far older, the earliest buildings stand on walls cast from tabby, a lime concrete made with oyster shell that behaves quite unlike cement.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Beaufort has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 40.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 6.5 inches of an annual 45.02; both figures recorded at BEAUFORT MCAS, 1.8 miles away. August is the wettest month at 6.5 inches of a 45-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the walls are wetted heavily through a long humid season; tabby takes water readily and has to be allowed to give it back.
How water losses tend to end in Beaufort
- A lime-based material, so modern cement repairs are harder than what they are patching
- A wall that must breathe, so sealing it drives the damage deeper rather than stopping it
- Material that cannot be matched off a shelf, so repairs need mixing to suit
