What drying runs into in Galveston
Serving Galveston and the surrounding area, including Pirates Cove, Lafitte's Cove, Spanish Grant Bayside.
Local housing stock
Only 25 percent of Galveston's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1973 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1973 with three quarters predating 1990, these raised houses keep their access to the underfloor space through a hatch cut in an interior floor rather than through an opening in the perimeter, which is closed with lattice or boarding.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Galveston has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 48.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 6.65 inches of an annual 47.22; both figures recorded at GALVESTON SCHOLES FLD, 8.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at 6.65 inches of a 47.22-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the space beneath the floor is humid the year round; getting into it to see anything means lifting a floor inside the house.
How water losses tend to end in Galveston
- Access to the underfloor space only from inside the living space
- An opening in the floor that connects the room directly to the air beneath the house
- Inspection that disturbs the interior, so it is done rarely
