What drying runs into in Memphis
Serving Memphis and the surrounding area, including Orange Mound, Broad Avenue Arts District, Midtown, South Memphis, Crosstown, Medical District, Berclair, East Memphis.
Local housing stock
The typical Memphis house dates to 1970, with over four fifths of the stock (79.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1970 with four in five houses older, a good part of the stock is arranged with the rooms opening directly into one another rather than off a corridor, so there is no circulation space and no door between most of them.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 82.8 degrees against 42.1; the 54.94 inches a year peak in April at 5.87, both figures recorded at MEMPHIS INTL AP, 3.8 miles away. April is the wettest month at close to six inches of a fifty-five inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season is warm and long; a loss that crosses several rooms in a building like this is drying in air that offers nothing at any point.
How water losses tend to end in Memphis
- No corridor, so water crossing a floor passes through living space rather than through a hall
- Few doors between rooms, so there is nothing to stop or slow the spread at any point
- Every affected room occupied, so containment and access are harder than in a house with circulation
