What drying runs into in Rock Hill
Serving Rock Hill and the surrounding area, including South Central, Seven Oaks, Flint Hill, East Rock Hill, Marion Street Area Historic District.
Local housing stock
43.6 percent of Rock Hill's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1994, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1994 with well over half the stock newer than 1990, the recurring plan puts a bathroom on the upper floor above the garage rather than above living space, so a failure there drops into a floor structure that is outside the conditioned part of the house and finishes on a garage ceiling nobody looks at.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Rock Hill gets 42.62 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.11, and the drying season runs from a 43-degree January to a 80.2-degree July; both figures recorded at WINTHROP UNIV, 0.8 miles away. June is the wettest month and no month averages a freezing low, so the year is long and warm with no hard winter; a floor structure over an unheated garage in that climate has no seasonal help at all and holds whatever it takes in until equipment reaches it.
How water losses tend to end in Rock Hill
- Bathrooms placed over garages, so a failure lands in a floor structure outside the heated part of the building
- Garage ceilings finished in board, so the water collects above it and is found when the board sags rather than when it starts
- Insulation packed into that floor, so wet batt sits against the subfloor and holds it damp long after the leak is fixed
