What drying runs into in Texas City
Serving Texas City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
59.1 percent of Texas City's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1984, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1984 with six in ten homes predating 1990, the houses are slab-on-grade with concrete added around them over the years, and each addition sits a little higher than the last, so the original floor slab is now ringed by pavement that keeps water at its edge rather than letting it drain.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 8.7 of the 62.8 inches Texas City sees in a normal year, and July averages 84.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LA MARQUE 1.8 E 6.5 miles away and temperatures at GALVESTON 10.8 miles away. September is the wettest month at nearly nine inches of a sixty-three inch year, and nothing freezes, so the ground around a slab is wet for long stretches; a floor edge held in standing water by surrounding concrete has a supply that does not stop when the rain does.
How water losses tend to end in Texas City
- Later concrete poured higher than the original slab, so water stands at the floor edge rather than draining off
- Wall plates sitting on that edge, so the bottom of every exterior wall is the wettest part of the building
- A floor with no downward route, so water at the perimeter moves inward under the covering rather than away
