Serving Summerville and the surrounding area, including Corey Wood, Huntington Farms, Summerville Farms.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Summerville were built and the answer is 2001 at the median, 33.7 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2001 and only a third of the stock predating 1990, the assemblies are new and the envelope is closed: sealed sheathing, insulated to a standard the older stock never met, and relying on mechanical air exchange rather than on leakage through the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 6.78 of the 52.7 inches Summerville sees in a normal year, and July averages 80.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SUMMERVILLE 4W, 3.7 miles away. July is the wettest month at close to seven inches of a fifty-three inch year with no freezing month at all, so the outside air is warm and heavy for most of the year; a tight house that loses its cooling during a loss has no route for that moisture at all, and the interior climbs within hours.
How water losses tend to end in Summerville
- A sealed envelope with no incidental leakage, so moisture released inside stays inside instead of dispersing through the building
- Houses that depend on mechanical systems for air exchange, so a loss that takes the system out removes the drying with it
- Interior humidity climbing within hours of a loss, so secondary damage in untouched rooms starts before anyone arrives
