What drying runs into in Austin
Serving Austin and the surrounding area, including Old West Austin, Bryker Woods, Glen Ridge, West Campus, Heritage, Gypsy Grove, Military Heights, Hemphill Park.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Austin were built and the answer is 1994 at the median, 44.9 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 1994 and fewer than half the houses predating 1990, the plan that repeats is two stories on a slab with the water heater moved up into a closet or the attic rather than kept in a garage, which puts fifty gallons and a standing supply connection directly above finished ceilings.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a January job at another, 86.5 degrees against 52.2; the 36.25 inches a year peak in May at 5.04, both figures recorded at AUSTIN-CAMP MABRY, 1.6 miles away. May is the wettest month at five inches of a thirty-six inch year and the warm season reaches the mid-nineties with no freezing month at all, so an attic in summer runs far hotter than the house; a ceiling wet in that season dries from above quickly, and the question becomes what the water did on the way down rather than how long the board takes.
How water losses tend to end in Austin
- Storage heaters in upper closets and attics, so a tank failure releases its whole volume through a ceiling rather than onto a garage floor
- Pans and drain lines that are fitted and then never checked, so the one thing meant to catch the loss is usually the thing that failed first
- Water running the top plates before it comes through, so the wet area includes wall cavities on both floors rather than the ceiling alone
