What drying runs into in Harlingen
Serving Harlingen and the surrounding area, including Fountain View Village, Hampshire Park Townhomes, Acacia, Clemens Subdivision, Cottonwood Estates Subdivision, Windfield Subdivision, Knightwood, Los Alamos Subdivision.
Local housing stock
Roughly 16,064 of Harlingen's 29,595 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1988; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Just over half the stock predates 1990 and the usual house is single-story slab in block or frame with paper-faced board, so the wet material is the wall base and the floor covering, and what complicates it is the cold interior: a damp wall behind a running air conditioner shows trouble at the top of the room rather than the bottom.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Harlingen has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 51.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 5.11 inches of an annual 26.57; rain recorded at HARLINGEN 0.4 N 1 miles away and temperatures at HARLINGEN 1.7 miles away. September carries the heaviest rain of a year that does not sound wet, and the warm season runs April to October with highs in the mid-nineties, so air that hot holds enormous moisture and a building opened to it during a drying run takes on water rather than losing it.
How water losses tend to end in Harlingen
- Continuous cooling moving moisture from a wet wall to the coolest surfaces in the building, so condensation appears in rooms that were never wet
- Return-air chases run inside wall cavities, so a wall loss puts water into the air path and the system distributes it through the house
- Tile bedded directly on the slab, so the floor gives moisture up only at cut edges and along the perimeter
