Local housing stock
60.1 percent of Blacksburg's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1985, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1985 with six in ten houses older, the houses step down the slope with a walkout at the lower level and a deck built at main floor height over the patio outside it, which roofs that paved area without enclosing it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 71.7 degrees against 31.9; the 43.99 inches a year peak in May at 4.61, rain recorded at BLACKSBURG 0.4 N 0.4 miles away and temperatures at BLACKSBURG NWSO 2 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-four inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring; a paved area under a deck gets that water through the boards and no sun afterward to take it away.
How water losses tend to end in Blacksburg
- A deck over a paved area at the lower level, so water passes through the boards and then cannot evaporate
- A space that never gets sun, so the paving and the wall beside it stay damp between rain
- A patio against the lower-level wall, so what is held there is held against the building
