What drying runs into in East Ridge
Serving East Ridge and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 14.8 percent of East Ridge's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1964 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1964 with over eight in ten homes predating 1990, the houses are brick ranches on block crawl walls cut into the slope, so the space beneath is tall enough to stand in at the uphill wall and barely a foot at the street, and the two ends behave nothing alike.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 55 inches, 5.34 of them in March, against a warm season that peaks at 80.7 degrees in July; both figures recorded at CHATTANOOGA LOVELL AP, 2.8 miles away. March is the wettest month and no month averages a freezing low, so the heaviest rain lands in early spring while the ground on the slope is still fully charged from winter; the deep end of a crawl space in that month has ground water against the wall and no ventilation to speak of.
How water losses tend to end in East Ridge
- Crawl spaces cut into a slope, so the uphill end has ground against the wall and stays damp while the downhill end dries normally
- Clearance falling to a foot at the front, so air ducted in from the accessible end never reaches the part that needs it
- A March rain peak on a fully charged slope, so the wettest month coincides with the worst condition under the floor
