What drying runs into in North Augusta
Serving North Augusta and the surrounding area, including Rose Hill, Pine Valley, Smithfield, Greenfield, Summer Hill, Lynnhurst, Bradleyville, Carolina Terrace.
Local housing stock
The typical North Augusta house dates to 1988, with about half of the stock (52.3 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Around a median build year of 1988 the stock is frame houses over vented crawl spaces on sandy terrace ground, so what gets wet under the floor is batt insulation between the joists and the subfloor above it, and both are working against a space that is humid for months at a time.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in North Augusta has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 39.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 5.02 inches of an annual 44.78; both figures recorded at AUGUSTA DANIEL FLD AP, 6.1 miles away. August is the wettest month and no month averages a freezing low, so the year runs long and warm with no cold stretch at either end; a crawl space vented to that air in late summer takes on moisture through the vents faster than it loses any through them.
How water losses tend to end in North Augusta
- Foundation vents bringing humid summer air into a cooler crawl space, so the underfloor humidity rises rather than falls in the wettest month
- Batt insulation between floor joists sagging once wet, so it holds water against the subfloor and reads as dry from the room above
- Sandy ground under the crawl that drains quickly, so standing water disappears and the damp it left behind is missed
